[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't they make a second ATS if there's so much demand for it? [/quote]

I don’t understand it. Parents love ATS, the kids do well there, and there is parent demand! Why wouldn’t they have more schools be like ATS. [/quote]
We don’t have space for more elementary schools period. They won’t convert a neighborhood school[/quote]

Then why not convert Tuckahoe/Jamestown/one of the ones with overlapping walk zones? Give all existing tuckahoe kids preference (or they could get rezoned but then make the rest of the seats countywide like ats. Within a few years, you’d have another countywide ats and I bet the neighborhood wouldn’t fight it as much. [/quote]

This.  The key is to grandfather and give options to the existing students.  Start off as a “school within a school” at K, then add a grade to the ATS program each year.  It would take a few years, but there would be another ATS option before long, and existing students would not be disrupted.  Give siblings of existing (older) students at that school a preferential option to be in the ATS program there, so that families are not forcibly split across schools.[/quote]

Or, just educate students in all schools the way they educate students ATS.[/quote]
