[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is ATS so popular with everyone? Is it that much better than all the neighborhood schools?[/quote] ATS gets higher test scores because of the self-selecting nature of the population it serves (children of highly engaged, highly motivated parents).[/quote] That may be the case of the children from parents of higher socio-economic backgrounds but isn’t that like most Arlington schools with families from the same background? Kids from low income backgrounds mostly come in through their VPE program and not because they specifically wanted their kids to go to ATS. Also ATS’ reading curriculum is based on the science of reading and they don’t use Calkins. [/quote]
