[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you looked at the performance scores for these schools?  Have you looked at the % of students who are FARMS or ESL?

Sorry, but the single most important factor for a school is demographics, and if they swing negatively greater than 40%?  It just can't be a high-performing school.

You can decide that you'll settle for low-performing when it comes to PreK, but by 1st grade you'll want something better.  And by 3rd?  You'll be downright scared in any of those low-performing leftovers.[/quote]

Effective teachers and a good principal mean a lot. [/quote]

I would think long and hard about sending my DD to a school with so many FARMS students.  The one she attends now is less than 20% FARMS and I'm still surprised by the things she learns outside of class, such as bad language.  Even one child with bad habits can have an effect on the whole class.  It's scary to think what a classroom half full of bad behavior can do to everyone else.[/quote]

Yes, those nasty FARMS students.  Blech.  Can't get the stench out even at the dry cleaners.  :roll: [/quote]

LOL!!!!  I was going to respond, but I'll just go with yours!
