[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at tech and the building will fill. There are currently 200 kids on the waitlist for AT and they will get in for 10th if they want.

My kid loves it. They are very "popular" and also loves learning through doing. The teachers are all very engaged and have chosen to be part of a new experiment. When the new building opens, it will fill. I think the focus on sports teams is a false flag.

I asked about the other co-located programs and he said that the student bodies don't mix. If only they'd get a hair-cut during school hours.

why APS hides its waitlist, I'll never know. https://www.apsva.us/school-transfer-data/[/quote]

Exactly. I do think Arlington Tech will fill when the campus is complete. If not immediately, within two or three years after it’s finished. However, I do hope the program will be open to all students, even English language learners. Ideally the program would attract a diverse cross section of the Arlington demographic and not become another HB. [/quote]

I am not a parent of an English language learner but am curious if it's true that it's "not open" to English language learners. I ask b/c it's a public school and has to provide access, doesn't it? Also, math is math and engineering is engineering meaning ESL status isn't a negative. Anyway, it's a great school and I hope they support ESL students and if they don't -- figure that part out quickly. [/quote]
