[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Title I is a fairly broad designation that includes schools with 40% of students who just barely meet the low-income threshold, schools with 100% of students who all easily meet the low-income threshold, and everything in between. The differences in experiences here are likely largely driven by the more granular differences in SES makeup of the schools. [/quote] This is true. My kids went to a 90 percent minority school, and were lucky to have a handful of friends who were similar in class/educational ability. That crew became SO CLOSE, and their teachers tried to keep giving them appropriate work, and they were friendly with the rest of the grade. In some grades, there were kids who were all alone in terms of race/class/ability and it's very, very lonely to be an "only." They end up feeling like there is something wrong with them, and were not challenged enough. I would be hesitant [/quote]
