I've never met a really wealthy parent at ATS. There are alot of immigrants families. Asian, South Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, African. White families are in the minority.

ATS has two bilingual family specialists. The one who's been there the longest speaks Spanish.

PP is right about the immigrant families taking school very seriously. Almost the entire school turns out for school events. Low-income families are very involved.

Admin expects parent involvement and and does not coddle parents.

This is not true.

According to APS’ published data, ATS is minority white at 35%. So why do you say it’s not true? This is much lower than the N Arlington ES.

Oh, so you get to group ALL other races together? If so, let’s group white and Asian together, as Asians aren’t considered URMs in elite schools.

Tell me, which race is >35% at the school?

Do you understand how math works? By simple math, white families are in the minority

Information from ATS website.

Total Student Enrollment, PreK-5: 663

Students who receive English as a second language support, K-5: 37.3%

Number of Languages Spoken: 24

Minority Population: 66%

https://ats.apsva.us/general-information/

Not all immigrant families are non-white. Not all non-white families are low-income. Not all immigrant families are low-income.

It's a really diverse school. The common denominator is that families have chosen to be there.

DP. You say "white families are in the minority". Then you say "Minority Population: 66%".

??

ATS is a majority minority school. Non-white, minority students make up the majority.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majority_minority

But if you break the “minority” population down by race, not one is close to 35%.

You keep making this argument that therefore it’s de facto alright to say ATS is “majority” white, but no agrees with your definition of “majority.” Especially where, in this county, there are literally schools where almost 8 out of 10 kids are white and where those families do not send their children to ATS.

Dude, no one cares. You’re just proving the point that achievement has nothing to do with race and has everything to do with parental GAF.

That’s why being a Title I school is not going to hurt ATS. The parents who are there GAF no matter their race or income.

Maybe. Or maybe there’s an increase in DGAF families — both due to VPI and because fewer high earners apply for their kids. They can just switch to private school.

It really doesn’t matter. It’s not like people can tell which high schoolers went to ATS.

VPI is a lottery as well. Families who select the option schools over a closer, more convenient neighborhood school already demonstrate that they GAF and are thinking more about educational opportunities rather than convenience. The kids in VPI at the option schools are already self-selected. I don’t think ATS becoming Title 1 will affect their success. The level of GAF will not decrease.

This. But it’s interesting to see how much people want to see ATS fail.

All we can do is wait and see

It's not a punishment to apply for Title 1 status when the threshold is met. It feels unfair if (IF, bc we don't know) some schools that qualify are getting the extra resources, while other similarly situated schools are not. Make sense?

This.

And then we need to ask WHY they are applying for ATS and not the others? Very unfair.

So ask.

Plan to. Thanks, sweetie.

Did anyone find out if Fleet or Innovation are applying for Title 1 status and will have more teachers next year? I didn't see job postings to indicate a change, if so.

APS only cares about poverty when it affects ATS.

Innovation has a lot of preschoolers since the school isn’t full. The VPI program inflates the FARMs rate by a few percentage points.

I guess sweetie didn't ask. Must not care enough to actually follow through.

I don't know much about Innovation but Fleet should be a Title I school if ATS will be. The demographics there have been teetering on Title I for years.

Meanwhile Abingdon lost its Title 1 status, which is a huge shame.

I found this thread today and I saw no evidence that ATS is now Title I.

As an ATS family, I don't think that would dissuade us or most of our cohort from attending. It's a diverse school (we're a mixed race family) where my kids have friends of varying backgrounds they wouldn't have met at our S Arlington school (they'd be grouped into the 2E Gifted school w/in school group, which is mostly wealthy white kids). If APS wants to make ATs Title I and add it to the CEP group, so much the better. Smaller classes AND free breakfast/lunch? Awesome.

It did? It’s been trending down for a while but still surprised.

+1 I hope it is a CEP school. There are a lot of low income kids there and would be great to see more get free breakfast and lunch.

ATS likely won't reach the CEP threshold. To be reimbursed at 100%, they would have to have 60% free and reduced price kids. That's why Campbell and Abingdon wasn't included, even though they were Title I schools.

I'm very sad to see the Abingdon isn't a Title I school anymore. With the amount of students they have, they needed the extra supports there.

Ats going downhill yikes
