And while it may be a great program, it is t anywhere near the largest school but consumes the most number of buses (even of the all the option schools). It needs to go in this current environment. Or at a minimum be debated. This whole thing APS is doing is a farce.  They claim they are looking at everything yet won’t take a hard look at the value of the option programs. Bunch of wimps.

Yeah! If you're a poor kid sucking up vital APS resources, you only deserve to go to a school that you've been redlined to and you can walk there with all of your poor neighbors, even if that means your mom loses a half hour of wages to escort you there!!!!! MAGA

If the kids who were transferring there from overcrowded schools were all ED, I might feel differently, but the families I know from South Arlington who transferred weren't -- they didn't like their neighborhood schools but weren't willing to pay to move because that would have but into their vacation budgets.

Does APS collect long-term data on ATS graduates? I don't care what someone's elementary SOLs are. I want to know if they outperformed other members of their demographic by the end of high school (because the ones I know didn't).[/quote]

ATS has a 26.3% FARMS rate. That tends to suggests that it's not all affluent families who don't like their neighborhood schools.[/quote]

Are you kidding me right now?[/quote]
