[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO, if a kid accepts a lottery spot, that should mean they aren’t able to apply for any other lottery programs.  So families should pick what’s really important for that kid — if it’s ATS, great.  But then no applying for HB for middle school.

How does that make sense? If the pedology is the same they should be allowed to apply. Or are you saying those who are in Spanish immersion in elementary school shouldn’t be allowed to apply for middle school?[/quote]

I think they're saying ATS and Montessori and Immersion should not be able to apply for HBW or AT or, by their statement, for IB transfer into WL if they aren't a WL student. So, ATS and Montessori would go to their neighborhood MS and HS only; immersion students could continue through HS.  IOW, you pick your one "pedagogy" [/quote]

I’m the pp and, yes, I’d say parents have to choose – at least for elementary and middle school.  Open it back up to the lottery winners for HS, maybe.

APS doesn’t care what some rando parent on DCUM thinks, so ATS parents shouldn’t stress that their precious HB allotment will be eliminated. Or anyone else for that matter. But it’s completely ridiculous that a majority of ATS parents then apply for HB.  It’s a pretty hard pivot from ATS to HB, so…what drives that?  A perception that their designated MS/HS isn’t “good enough?”

To OPs original point, an ATS-style MS anywhere would be extremely desirable to APS parents.
