[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So basically ATS has a better music program, is more diverse and allows us to avoid any boundary changes. Nottingham has smaller class sizes and better playgrounds. Does that summarize the differences? Not OP but I have a son in pre-k and am considering applying to ATS based on this discussion. Also reading on ATS’ website that they have homework and “teacher led instruction.” Have no idea what that means but it sounds like how we were taught as kids? I’m guessing it is somewhat different now?[/quote] Homework every night for every grade and a requirement that kids be reading by the end of K are ATS trademarks. The good part of that is that ATS was (I think) doing RAN testing before a lot of other APS elementaries. When we were looking at ES, it was clear that ATS might be fine for the oldest but would be a disaster for Kid 2. Friends whose kids attended were very happy there. [/quote]
