[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our neighbors left ATS because they said it was not a good school for their kid who had special needs.

Neighborhood schools ( not all, but many) do a better job with that. [/quote]

Right.  Because ATS is a choice school.

Because it's a self selecting group, that's about 75% of the success right there.  [/quote]

More than 75% I think. Probably 90%.  There are some things that can be replicated, but you aren’t going to be able to fix the main ingredient for ATS’s success in narrowing the achievement gap. [/quote]

My eldest was at Tuckahoe and then she got into ATS the year after.  Both ATS and Tuckahoe have very involved parents and Tuckahoe had more of a community feel (all the parents know each other... not the case at ATS). So when it comes to parental involvement, I don't think there is a lot of difference between ATS and other affluent North Arlington schools (I just say affluent North Arlington schools because my experience with neighborhood schools is limited to Tuckahoe so I'm extrapolating and thinking of the schools that are very much like Tuckahoe demographic wise.. i.e. Nottingham, Jamestown, Discovery etc.)
