[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is  there. My impression is that there are a lot of kids there that choose it because if the tech classes. There is also a contingent that’s there because it’s a much smaller environment. Because it’s DE not AP or IB, I think there are fewer super-competitive parents. [/quote]

+1 I know a couple kids who graduated last year. One went to UVA and the other to Embry-Riddle (she already has her pilot's license). It is a rigorous, college prep program with a focus on tech and project-based learning. I would have liked my kids to consider it but the lack of music programs made it not an option (they are both in band).

One parent told me they thought it had a higher % of special ed students than other schools, which is not surprising since those families might be more inclined to choose a smaller environment.

Here's their list of where students were accepted for college: https://careercenter.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2023/07/Arlington-Tech-Brag-Sheets-2023-1.pdf[/quote]

I could see the higher sped being true, likely because of the project based hands on learning. That works well for some kids. [/quote]
