[quote=Anonymous]Please take all of the information here with a grain of salt. A lot of parents who haven't had experience with the title 1 schools  (or  a few who had a bad experience with one school and removed their children) like to post and denigrate all of them. They sayt that all of the attention is at the "bottom"  and that kids who are in the middle or more privileged will be left behind.  I have a child in upper elementary at one of the schools on the list to "avoid" from a previous post.  My daughter has 18 kids in her class. The teacher has offered to do check ins  (which often last 30 minutes) weekly with the student and a parent for any family who is interested.  These are mostly slotted into Mondays. DD  (who is white, English speaking and not identified as gifted and generally at, just behind or just above grade level) has regular interventions in small groups and one on on with the teacher to target math, reading and writing skills where she needs support and/or to ensure understanding. The teacher sends an update  through seesaw every day on what work should have been done, congratulating kids who finished and reminder others to complete it.  DD is behind where I would like her to be academically but this has more to do with the pandemic and last spring and the world then our specific school. In fact, our experience has been much better than that of parents I've talked to from some of the welathier N. Arlington schools.  One experience, but just food for thought.  No direct experience with Hoffman Boston.  [/quote]
