[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ATS should mandate 2/3rds of slots for lower socioeconomic and minority students, similar to how Montessori does their prek. I have no problem with ATS existing or being a home for attentive parents. But it should favor disadvantaged every step of the way. And, please don't tell me it's FRL rate is similar or better than other schools, that is truly irrelevant. It's FRL needs to be twice the worst neighborhood school, and it's student demographics needs to flip the stats of U.S. public. Then you know it's really serving those who need it in our society.

Yeah, no. No one’s gonna go for that. You’d be better off advocating for ATS-style teaching at Drew or something.[/quote]

Drew needs something. All the fighting to get a neighborhood school and it still has the same abysmal achievement outcomes. I live next door and would have zero issue with making it ATS 2 with guaranteed admission for neighborhood kids. Then the 25 kids at the ATS hub stop at Drew can come back to their neighborhood school..[/quote]

Guaranteeing admission for neighborhood kids sounds good in theory. But what happens when the neighborhood school becomes one of the best in the county and people with money start flocking to the neighborhood, pushing longtime residents out?

(Or the flip side, it becomes a second ATS but without the good outcomes…)[/quote]

Well both those are good points but I think the neighborhood is already heading that way (every house that goes on market is torn down and new houses for 1 million plus in their place).

And I'd it doesn't have good outcomes then I guess we answered the question in this post..[/quote]
