[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We attended ATS from the discovery boundary and one issue we had when my daughter went to middle school was that almost nobody from her middle school attended ATS. The parents from discovery, Jamestown, Nottingham, Taylor and tuckahoe don't really send their kids there. They don't really need to, as they spent a small fortune to buy homes in boundaries with schools they liked. You get a lot more kids from the schools in south Arlington and central Arlington. We liked ATS a lot, in part for its racial and economic diversity, because our home school doesn't have that. ATS has changed a bit. New principal. New building. bigger building so they can admit more kids. But I imagine the mission is the same. Get kids reading. Emphasize the basics. Daily homework. International community. [/quote] + 1 We recently left ATS, but this was exactly our experience as well.[/quote]
