[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School teacher's input. I would stay away from schools where the poverty percentile (FARMS) is greater than the national average. Unfortunately many of these children have more significant obstacles to contend with than school (gangs, domestic abuse, hunger, absentee parents due to incarceration/working two jobs/immigration, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, I could go on and on). The children's primary focus may be just on survival with so many competing factors. That being said, a very confident, self-assured student with strong family support and a sound moral compass would probably do just fine in this environment.
