OK sorry to do this but I am honestly VERY curious.
So two public elementary schools in the district -- they are about 2 miles from each other. One is a smaller, older school with a bit lower income. In first grade there are two classes. In four years only one first grader has been identified for the gifted program. There are more special needs kids on the other end and that seems to be their forte.
The other school is much larger in a slightly upscale neighborhood. In first grade there are 5 classes, and about 4-5 gifted kids. The school is known to have a lot of gifted students and tend to cater to those kids.
What do you think? Is it "obvious" that the bigger, "smarter" school is better? Or is there value in the smaller school without all of the smart kids?
Thanks
