[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's because the low income parents at ATS are Type A as well. You have to put effort in to enter the lottery. [/quote] Not really. They get in through VPI lottery and any parent who bothers to apply to VPI has an equal shot at getting in to ATS. There's not supposed to be an additional hurdle, unless ATS is engaging in some shenanigans to weed out certain families. [/quote] Right but they have to know enough / be able / have access to bother to apply. [/quote] There have been studies on this. Parents who just enter their kids in a lottery have kids who do a lot better. You don't have to attend the lottery school. Your parent just has to care and be sophisticated enough to try to get you in. So, it seems like it is all based on your family. So, likely not something that is fixable by the school or throwing money/resources at the problem. It is way more difficult than that. [/quote]
