[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From a teacher perspective, at the HS level, you don't see a difference between ATS kids and neighborhood schools for the vast majority of students. [/quote]

I’m a public HS teacher in Arlington and I disagree. There’s a big difference between my students when it comes to their education background. If it didn’t you wouldn’t have people paying for private, entering lottery schools, paying for tutoring, ect. [/quote]

In middle, many teachers say they can tell which kids came from ATS. Mine has all As and is getting extra content in some classes like math and science. [/quote]

I teach HS at a public APS school and I find it interesting the ATS students I have are better rounded and have performed at a higher level. I don’t have many of them but it’s something I noticed over the years. My kids did not go to ATS and did just fine, so it’s not the only good elementary school. There is something to be said about having it as part of your foundation if you ask me. My 3 kids went to S. Arlington schools. 🤷‍♀️[/quote]
