[quote=Anonymous]I think though of all the option schools it has the lowest % of free and reduced lunch and is below the county average which doesn’t lend itself to the narrative of pockets of folks escaping their zones school. Also don’t nearly 400 come from the three closest schools: McKinley, Glebe and Aslawn? I think no one wants an option school near them because the surrounding schools are negatively impacted by overcrowding. The benefits of immersion evaporate after immersion ends and I bet ATS doesn’t lead by itself to a lifetime of success but instead seems to pick out the most competitive parents. Who else wants letter grades for 10 year olds. While other schools are moving towards no homework ATS model will soon become outdated. Access to Montessori on the other hand has proven to more of an equalizer across the county. We should expand that and get rid of the other option programs.[/quote]
