[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Barcroft resident here, I mostly agree with PPs, but a few caveats.

Campbell is much like Barrett and barcroft as far as SES demographics. And, although it is a choice School, it has a disproportionately large VPI class from local kids and they stay at the school. Those parents like me self selected that School.

But there is something different about that school, they embrace their diversity in many ways and I don’t feel that the School caters only to the immigrant community. It is all one community. Maybe it is the way the school administration deals with it, I give a lot of credit to the principle because a lot of that attitude comes from the top.

And don’t be so sure that your UMC kid won’t benefit from the Title I services. Campbell makes those extra resources available to all kids who need them. Mine gets some extra help in certain subjects, like math. I am grateful for the extra help.

That's good to hear. I do wonder if the fact that Campbell is like 35% farms and Barrett and barcroft are 60, along with not being self selecting does make a difference though.[/quote]

Campbell is only 35% ?  That has gone way, way down!  (I recall something just under 60% a few years back?). That means they lost Title 1 status. 
Did they keep the same number of VPI classes? Did the ratings/scores/stats change with that?  [/quote]
