[quote=Anonymous]So - the problem with trying to use the PreK3 waiting list as the benchmark comparison is that The demographics for PreK3 tend not to look anything like the upper elementary grades at many of the schools. The language immersion schools are somewhat of an exception to this. So, at my school - which is one of those listed above - the PreK3 demographics are that it is a pretty small percentage of lower SES and if only the PreK3 students were looked at, the school would not qualify as a Title I school. But, by the time you get to second grade that has changed entirely and the school is solidly Title I. And, most of the families who have left did not do so because of behavior issues at the school or concerns regarding the academics - there are no real complaints on that front. It comes down to a "grass is greener" mentality, which, unfortunately, does seem to be driven by issues of race and class.[/quote]
