[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in a 700k townhouse in Crown. While Rosemont has been fine, I welcome the change. I have found that being in a title 1 school, you don't get the same resources. The PTA is not quite running so there are way less events. The school caters to those with behaviors versus those who are well behaved. There are less birthday parties. However, my child has done well academically and has had great teachers, made friends and there have been high flyers in every class. Sending all of those kids to Crown wouldn't change the experience for the Wootton families because they already have all the resources in place to set their kids and the school up on a good path. And from what I see, Option H is only calling for part of Rosemont, which is the "wealthy side".[/quote]

We used to know people who rave about their Title I and Focus schools.  I think part of it is just that they don't know what they're missing though.

So you could potentially have it good going from a Title I school, with the extra funding and smaller K-2 class sizes, and go to a school like Wootton for high school.

But just a warning though, Wootton has been going through some changes.  Where it sounds like they had a lot of staff turnover around the same time they got a new principal.  So everyone from the counseling department left. And some classes like a Calculus class, started off the year with no teacher.

Hopefully they're just ironing out the kinks with the change in administration.  But it's not all smooth sailing at the school too:
