[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid transferred and so I can compare. ATS doubles down on early literacy and do not let anybody fall behind in math or reading or writing. If they do, they are giving small group instruction, 1:1, ect even without a 504 and an IEP. the new leadership is great; has the trust of the teachers and students. I was worried about the transition but it's been good. you have a 4% chance of getting into the lottery so learn to love your home school. [/quote] I echo all this, except I don't know what the chance is, and it varies each year. Leadership transition was good, ATS doubles down and they are on top of the kids and parents. No grade level mastery=you will not proceed to the next grade. K-5th: all students participate in drama and put on a production each year. 4th and 5th: all students are in chorus and band or orchestra. All subjects are taught by your classroom teacher. All grades have homework, that incrementally increases over the years (but is very doable). Student body is truly diverse in every aspect. [/quote]
