What the population like? It’s it a few UMC neighborhoods mixed with some apartments or condos?

That’s how our school is - there is no middle class, the students all live in 600k-$1.2M townhomes or homes or they receive free lunch. There is no in between. In our experience it’s been fine as there are more than enough students similar to our kids for them to find a good peer group.[/quote]
This is us.  Look at the test scores for your demographic group. Our school gets penalized because the low income kids do not do as well.  But most kids scores are like 9/10. [/quote]

OP again. Thanks for all the input. Here's more data responding to multiple comments at once. According to GS, my local elementary school has approximately 30% low-income students. As for test scores, low-income students were rated 2/10 and not low-income students were rated 7/10. However, even the non-low-income students scored lower than the state average in all the subjects being tracked. There are a lot of expensive townhomes and houses near me, plus many apartments and condos.[/quote]
