cool stats on your school....including weather it is Title 1 or not.

That was interesting Milli, what does Title 1 mean? Not familiar with the term...

[peglem]

Title 1: economically disadvantaged. Special government funding specifically aimed at this group- Its why you have to fill out those free/reduced meal forms at the beginning of the school year. (Can't remember if you homeschool or not, if you don't then you know what I'm talking about.)

Nope I don't homeschool. Too worried I wouldn't be able to give him all he needs and boy does he need socilization and is at least getting that from his school.

That is really a nice website--I need to book mark that one. I am going to home school, but this is still cool info. Our local school has a really high student/teacher ratio and a lot of student teachers. No surprise there!!

That would be a good website if it wasn't 10 years out of date. I email them with what information I know about our school system. I hope they will make an effort to update the site so the information is current.

oh no :mad:

what in particular did you find that out of date (so no one here thinks it's current)

was there anything correct?

Milivica,
Our entire school system has been rebuilt. We have gone from 4 middle schools down to 1 big middle school (the old high school). All of our elementry schools have been built new and we have eliminated several of the old schools. A new High School has also been built. The stats and so forth I don't know well enough to say anything about. Where ever they got thier info, they need to go back to and see if it has been updated.
