[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys, once these kids get to high school, you CANNOT TELL who went to ATS and who didn’t. I know their standardized tests scores are good, but any advantage these kids have in elementary levels out completely by the time they reach high school.

What a sad state we find ourselves in when people are arguing over some mediocre public elementary school.

This x a million. People are ridiculous. I get arguing over some prestigious private school with really small class sizes. But ATS? Lollllllllllll

It’s still an Arlington public school. A polished turd is still a turd.[/quote]

It’s great that you can afford a private school education but not all of us can. ATS has been recognized by the VDOE as one of the best schools in Virginia and has also been recognized as a blue ribbon school. Now you might not believe in these awards or the metrics they are measured by, [b]but for a public school it is really good[/b]. The back and forth arguments regarding ATS is whether it is something that can be replicated in other Arlington schools or is it solely a good school because all the parents there care about their kids education. I happen to believe the model can be replicated in all schools.[/quote]

This was their point.

Their students perform well on Virginia standardized tests. Hardly something to fight over.[/quote]

The school has been recognized nationally as well. If you think the Virginia standards are weak (and they are) isn’t it problematic then that some arlington schools are doing poorly even with these weak standards? [/quote]
