[quote=Anonymous]OP: it probably doesn't make a huge difference "in the long run" because it's the home socio-economics that most predict "long-term" outcomes. But it sure can make a difference in the short run and in your kid's day to day experience. We moved out of a low-income title I elementary after years there and are so happy we did for some many reasons. Much nicer environment for my kids. But we didn't move into a high/perfect pyramid either. But every single little thing is nicer in the new elementary (well when we had school it was). Hardly any teacher turnover. Large parental involvement. Many more friends available for playdates and connections outside of school. More "elective" type options. Less cursing and pushing in the hallways and cafeterias. Things like that. Not sure it matters as much in high school where you can pick your courses. Hard to generalized on such a general question. [/quote]
