[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Title 1 status will deter some families from applying. The families who choose between private schools and ATS. So the school will become more and more low income. Wait and see.[/quote]

That hasn’t happened at Campbell and they are a title I option school.[/quote]

Campbell doesn’t have the same waitlist as ATS. Campbell draws a lot of kids from other Title 1 schools.[/quote]

So does ATS. Look at the transfer report.

People choose ATS because they have high achievement with a really diverse student population.

ATS pulls the low AND higher income kids from those schools. The same is not true for Campbell.[/quote]

Got it. So you think ATS will
Decline because affluent parents will not sent their kids to ATS if it’s a title I school. And achievement will
Decline because poor kids can’t learn. [/quote]

You don’t think achievement is tied to SES? Then why do people complain that many of our SA schools are majority low income while NA schools are wealthy? I mean, if it doesn’t matter…[/quote]

Of course it is. ATS has minimized achievement gaps for years.  Title I gives them more resources to serve their students. A family in an expensive house in green valley will not be turned off by it being a title I school. It just proves what ATS families have know for years.

You are naive if you don’t think Title 1 status will turn some families away.[/quote]

We have a household income of 400k. Our kids are at ATS. We sent them there for the income diversity and well as the racial diversity. We are happy that it is a title 1 school now because the school will get even more resources. So are all the parents we know that are high income at ATS. ATS attracts families who want a high achieving school with diversity. The waiting list is super long so we aren’t concerned at all that families with high educational expectations suddenly stop applying to ATS. Also are you trying to imply that low income students are not smart? That’s not how it works at ATS.[/quote]
