[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ATS has the best stats in APS. You can’t just say it’s self selection because they outperform all the other option schools. Can’t say it’s not diverse because it has a lot of ell and FRM students. [/quote] The other option schools had neighborhood preference until very recently, give them time. Most of ATS’s kids who receive FRM came in through the VPI preference, so they have a parent who knew at preschool age that they needed to get their kid in the lottery, plus they have lived in Arlington multiple years. The FRM population at ATS is far savvier about schools and has more housing stability than the FRM population in Arlington generally. [/quote] The current 5th graders in option schools are the last of the neighborhood kids at those schools. 4th and below are lottery. And montessori and immersion have VPI. [/quote]
