[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ATS parent. Some of you don't know anything about ATS and it shows.

I've never met a really wealthy parent at ATS. There are alot of immigrants families. Asian, South Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, African. [b]White families are in the minority[/b].

ATS has two bilingual family specialists. The one who's been there the longest speaks Spanish.

PP is right about the immigrant families taking school very seriously.  Almost the entire school turns out for school events. Low-income families are very involved.

Admin expects parent involvement and and does not coddle parents.

This is not true.[/quote]

According to APS’ published data, ATS is minority white at 35%.   So why do you say it’s not true?   This is much lower than the N Arlington ES. [/quote]

Oh, so you get to group ALL other races together? If so, let’s group white and Asian together, as Asians aren’t considered URMs in elite schools.

Tell me, which race is >35% at the school?[/quote]

Do you understand how math works? By simple math, white families are in the minority

Information from ATS website.

Total Student Enrollment, PreK-5: 663

Students who receive English as a second language support, K-5: 37.3%

Number of Languages Spoken: 24

Minority Population: 66%

Not all immigrant families are non-white. Not all non-white families are low-income. Not all immigrant families are low-income.

It's a really diverse school. The common denominator is that families have chosen to be there.

No one is saying it’s not diverse. But if you break it down by race, white isn’t the smallest group.[/quote]

Someone posted that “it wasn’t true” that whites were in the minority at ATS, but the facts is that whites are 1/3 of ATS as compared to 3/4 at most N Arlington schools.   [/quote]

So what?

If you’re making the point that the primary factor in student achievement is parental involvement (not skin color or income level), then I 100% agree with you.[/quote]
