[quote=Anonymous]17:01 - ATS parent here. I only have experience with ATS, so I can't speak to what neighborhood schools might be doing. It's the same as a neighborhood school, but with possibly more emphasis on reading. The school is more diverse than most of the schools located in North Arlington, but the test scores are very high, without over-emphasis on test prep. The PTA is very active and the parent community is engaged. Every 4th grader does choir; every 5th grader plays an instrument. (that might be APS wide.) They push kindergarten readiness hard by encouraging incoming kindergartners to attend county summer school. If your focus is STEM, go for the STEM program. If you desire immersion, go for immersion. I can't say ATS is better than either of those - it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. But we've been very happy there.[/quote]
