[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the same reason all the ATS parents apply to HB for middle school. The two schools could not be more different, but ATS parents still want to send their kids to HB. IMO it's a status thing - neighborhood schools aren't good enough for our kid; we need a special school.[/quote]

I love it when people who don’t have kids at ATS speak for people who don’t have kids at ATS and pretend to know the reason behind why we send our kids to ATS. It’s exhausting.[/quote]

New poster.  I don't have a kid at ATS and didn't apply, but I do wonder why folks who did send their kids to ATS then apply to HB.  But I also think you should also be able to hit/win the lottery only once.[/quote]

When we applied to ATS back, long ago, when my child was 5 - we had no idea if the philosophy would fit or not. But, we were blown away by the tour and the principal, so threw our name in the hat and got a spot.

Then, for MS, my child, who succeeded at ATS but was a little on the quirky side and we didn't think would quite fit the mainstream MS experience, we thought we'd give HB a try. And got a spot.

Both schools were good experiences for my child. The 5 year old who entered ATS, exited a different child, with different needs. And HB fit those needs very well.
