[quote=Anonymous]I'm also a teacher in a red zone school. While we don't know for certain, it is pretty easy to figure out. Even if a family doesn't exactly qualify for FARMS(or they haven't filled out the forms) it is easy to tell who is struggling. Our school provides a lot of outreach and assistance to families, so I know who is on the list to get presents at Christmas and whose family said they needed food for Thanksgiving.

I agree that the small class sizes are fantastic, but only in effect for grades K-2. Then they can shoot up as high as any other school. Being a Title I school can provide a lot of additional support and benefits, which is great, but know that there are no guarantees that a school will maintain title I status. The county decides how to allocate this federal money based on FARMS percentages at various schools. Several schools lost their title I status this year because they weren't needy enough compared to other schools. This meant that they lost teachers, paraeducators, and other programs.[/quote]
