[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Luckily, “FARMS” is not contagious, so if your family has a good income, your kid will most likely do well despite higher FARMS percentage of students at a school. They might also get first “dibs” in leadership positions and athletic teams. [/quote]

It negatively impacts the learning environment. Schools have to teach to the lowest common denominator. If 25% of the students are below grade level, teachers waste alot of time trying to bring students up to grade level and neglect the higher performing students.[/quote]

Western is going to have the same population as Carson minus some of the AAP kids. HOWEVER - my Carson kid is NOT in AAP and therefore has no classes with the AAP kids, which means that my kid at Western will be with the same kids she's with now at Carson in regular and honors classes. She's had zero problems with the students at Carson in any of her classes and will likely have zero problems with those same students in high school. [/quote]

And, Western will also have the addition of non-AAP Oak Hill kids and the Oak Hill kids who chose to go to Franklin for AAP.  
It should be a very good school.[/quote]
