Looking for parent experiences with SPS schools in low income areas

Recommendations

I have a 4 year old and we are zoned for a school that is lower income and lower performance on state tests. Relevant stats are:

60.1% Low income 41.9% English language learners 74.8% students attend school 90% or more days 45-52% consistent grade level knowledge in state tests by subject

I want to hear from parents sending their kids to these types of schools in Seattle. There is a huge variety of school performance here. What has your experience been? Would you recommend it? I have been to school open houses etc. and most of the parents they have representing the school are super excited about this school, which makes sense, I’m just having a tough time finding any neutral parties/feedback.
