[quote=Anonymous]When my oldest started K, we opted out of our neighborhood school, which is a Title 1 school due to scheduling issues ( it was on a modified calendar, and my teaching job was not). He ended up being placed at a higher performing, much less diverse school. I actually really struggled with the lack of diversity, which I felt did not represent our community. After years of enormous class sizes, and limited differentiation, IMO, due to large class size, we decided to start our middle son at the Title 1 school. His class size has been at least 10 less than his brother's were. My youngest started at the same school last year. My oldest finishes at his school after this year, we kept him as he is in the AAP class. If I had it to do over again, I would keep him at the Title 1 school. The extra resources benefit the entire student body, and though the overall base knowledge level is definitely lower, we have seen much more differentiation at lower grades.[/quote]
