[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is APS hobbling AT out the gate by colocating with students with absentees issues, criminal records, drug use and court mandated treatment, and students up to the age of 21?

My 7th grade DD is a nerdy science loving kid, but this mixed environment makes it a non starter for us. [/quote]

HB has been colocated with an English Language Learner program with students up to age 21 for many years, meaning you have 11 year olds in the same building as 20 year olds. Seems to work out ok. [/quote]

Always heard about Stratford program. What ELL program is colocated at the Heights?[/quote]
My kid is at HB and it looks like it's just the support system in place for the kids who need those services and win the lottery but I'm not positive. BTW, my kid loves having the Shriver students co-located. [/quote]

No that is not correct. There are students in a specific ELL program at HB and they are up to age 21 (at least). They do not get in through the regular lottery. [/quote]

Why cant you post a link about this program?[/quote]

I don't think there's a link for it. You don't publicly apply like the lottery. APS places the students who need it into it. It appears to be recent arrivals with high language needs. It shows up in the budget so if you're that interested you can find it there. [/quote]
