DP.

You are wrong. They were at 34% last year. 10 APS elementaries had higher farms rates last year, including the 8 title I schools. ATS has higher farm rates than many APS schools and not just the wealthiest zip codes.

How am I wrong?  They are middle of the pack, not high farms.

There are approx 32 FARMS per grade, once you account for the two classes of 18 VPI students from the total.

VPI  slots in 36 FARMS students into ATS every year, and there are only 32 FARMS students in average, so it seems zero FARMS students enter through the non-VPI lottery.

Unless I have the VPI numbers wrong? They aren’t in class report. But VPI is 18 per class, and I believe ATS has 2 classes. [/quote]

there are not 32 VPI kids per grade. That might be total. The VPI classes, and there are only two, are small. I'd bet there are 32 total vpi kids at the school total or maybe excluding vpi. Anyway, there are various ethnic groups at the school who keep recruiting their other group peers into the school which is how, I think, the FARMS rate is so high. Also, there are many parents, of various language backgrounds, that don't speak any or much English. every grade has a ESOL pull out for literacy for those who need extra help.  [/quote]
