[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] I agree with this. There is a reason that clinical trials are randomized. Parents who don’t have the capacity to add an extra complication to their life, who are turned off by the focus on academics, who don’t care that much about elementary education, etc are not applying. Those things are not going to be measured by income, race, or disability status. That said, it sounds like some of the things they are doing could be helpful in other schools. The weekly reports and focus on academic basics, for example, would have been better for my kids. [/quote]
