[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is starting third grade at a Title 1. We have been trying to lottery to a charter foryears but no luck. We loved the school but by second grade there are HUGE acheivement gaps. So far its worked because the classes are so small (around 16-20) and there are good supports for kids who need help. I also talk with the teacher a lot about keeping my kid challenged. But the academics definitely are teaching down, not up. the attitude is "your kid will be fine anywhere" is tiresome. The fourth and fifth grades are ususally down to one class compared to 4 classes in first grade. Familiies leave also due to the middle school feed. MacFarland is a no go. My kid has had amazing teachers but don't kid yourself on diferentiation. Even the best teacher cant really reach the kid one grade above and the kid two grades behind.[/quote] Which school is this? We’re considering a few MacFarland feeders right now.[/quote]
