I have been surprised by all the haters over the years. As someone who lives south of Rt 50, I thought we were pretty lucky to get into ATS. This is after meeting families through county programs who would actually gasp when we said we lived south of 50 and through sports where north Arlington parents pretended they had never heard of ATS, but then would never speak to us again at sports. Or the time when someone's nanny was shocked we lived where she did, as if Columbia Pike is like SE DC (no offense)!

Our neighbors who have moved in over the years with school age kids always go through the same cycle: they know nothing about APS, then find out about ATS, then find out we go, then we don't really ever talk. They just look at us like we betrayed them. It happens a lot with people building these new giant houses among our collection of Arlington sh*t-shacks.

Our neighbors who go to the neighborhood school all really like it and that's a great community. It's one of the CEP schools and the HHI families still go there and love it. I think you can find good communities in every Arlington school. I wish there were more ATS schools, but from what I have heard/read, most of the things that ATS has are at other schools too. It just has homework and diversity. I wouldn't trade out, but I don't get the hate. FWIW, we ATS parents don't really talk about it, I only ever hear it from non-ATS people. [/quote]
