[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're at ATS and parking is mostly ok.  For big evening events, you have to park on George Mason or at the Safeway.  It's 0.75 miles or so away from the Ballston metro, which isn't as close to metro as the current Key, but also isn't tragic.  0.75 miles from metro is better than nearly any other school in the county (or surrounding counties, for that matter.)

ATS can hold at least 4 classes per grade plus VPI.  It currently has about that now.  Given that only 35 native spanish speakers applied for Key's kindergarten last year, you could do 4 classes per grade and accommodate at least  80 kids per grade, or even 96 per grade (as ATS currently has in most grades) accounting for attrition as kids leave in the later grades (and can't transfer in due to the spanish language requirements.)  So I think it could be a good fit once some of the bigger grades transition out.

We're a current ATS family and I worry that McKinley will be a more difficult location for the lower-income families to access, and would be a tougher sell for the South Arlington families in general.  But I support the idea of a bigger ATS because, given the waitlist situation, clearly the demand is there for more seats.[/quote]

won’t you get towed if you park in the Safeway lot?  I’m assuming it’s private property.[/quote]
