[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are getting a good education at a title 1 school. Maybe don’t be as close minded.[/quote]

Dollars to donuts you have a kid in second grade or less and/or you aren't at least upper middle class

I'm sorry not calling you out but this comes up over and over again

If you somehow stay to middle school and you are not at Deal feel free to call me out[/quote]

It's actually changed year over year.

When we first started, it was "call me when you've experienced more than PK", then K, now 2nd or middle school.

We're enrolling for 3rd now BTW, so good guess. But I don't buy your point.[/quote]

I hope you stick with it but the stats say you won't

Also big difference between truly title 1 and a gentrifying title 1.  When you start to become an only or close to it (not just race I'm talking more SES) it gets really tough to stay.[/quote]

Oh good, more qualifiers.

It's just not that simple or clear racially or SES. That's also not my focus. Our kids are racially mixed. And I'm not entirely clear on the SES of many classmates families although I know the school overall has relatively high poverty.

What I do see is that there's a cohort of kids performing above grade level along with our kids. That's pretty much all I care about.[/quote]

The behavior issues manifest in the later elementary grades.  I really do hope it works out.  [/quote]

Thanks, I think. We've had our share of behavior issues, and the school handles then reasonably.  We've also had our share of behavior issues in high SES settings. Not always handled so well.[/quote]
