[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The advantage would be specific to Pell recipients.[/quote] That’s not true. I can think of many babied top students at the best high schools who are driven to tutors, math classes, private coaches so they can play a sport, whose schedules are driven my mom. These kids would fall apart in a Title 1 school. So yes, no matter what income, kids who do well in Title 1 schools are more desirable candidates. [/quote] +1 My kid absolutely benefited from learning how to thrive attending an urban Title I, and not one of NYC’s “desirable” public magnets either. Several T5 admits from its graduating classes recently. The LAC that DC now attends wouldn’t have been one of their expected admits had they come from a large, UMC feeder school. We were frankly surprised it seems to have been a hook. It wasn’t the reason they attended their T1, but it clearly turned out to be a factor in admissions. [/quote]
