[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There's no real difference between Nottingham and ATS[/b].  I wouldn't bother.[/quote]

I'm not sure if PP was just referring to music/art, but a real difference between the two schools is diversity.  Looking at the latest statistics I found with a quick search:  as of 9/20, ATS was 23% Asian, 17% black, 13% Hispanic, 37% white, 10% mixed (I'm doing some rounding).  Nottingham was 7% Asian, 0.5% black, 8% Hispanic, 73% white, 11% mixed.  In October 2019, ATS was 31% free lunch, while Nottingham was 4%.  [/quote]

and size - ATS has more kids in total and per class and per grade but in a smaller space, Nottingham has small everything yet bigger space, indoors and outdoors both, and bigger/better/nicer playground.[/quote]

True, although I'd take bets that Nottingham or Tuckahoe becomes host to an option school in the next few years and enrollment goes up at whichever remains a neighborhood school accordingly.[/quote]

OP this is an added benefit. Nottingham may end up being an option school which means your child may end up switching schools if she stays in Nottingham. Easiest way to avoid this possibility is by accepting the spot at ATS. I know two families that accepted spots in an option school because they wanted to avoid the uncertainty of boundary changes. I know another family who enrolled their child in an option school because they knew they would eventually move to a bigger house and didn’t want to be limited to looking at homes in their neighborhood or make their kids switch schools.
