[quote=Anonymous]ATS kids (in large part) go to their neighborhood middle schools.   And the number of ATS kids that go to each MS change every year (obv - just depends on where the kids in that particular graduating class live). When my older son left ATS a big group of kids went with him to Kenmore and very few to WMS.  The year before I think Swanson was the big school.  With my next, a ton of kids went to TJMS and WMS.   I think you can count on some ATS kids heading each MS every year (mine did not have issues meeting friends.  Also -  remember the MSs are big. A bunch of ESs feed to each one.   I know some neighborhood ES kids that didn't have familiar faces in some of their classes, so it isn't as if ATS kids are the only ones in a new environment, everyone is on a pretty equal footing and the schools do a good job with 6th grader orientation.).

Every year some ATS kids go to private school - I don't remember it being a huge number.

Middle school can be kind of a tough time/age for kids no matter where they go to school (in my experience), they are going through a lot of changes - so I try to think of it as a time to "ride out" : )

Hope this helps.  Good luck!
