[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There's no real difference between Nottingham and ATS[/b].  I wouldn't bother.[/quote]

I'm not sure if PP was just referring to music/art, but a real difference between the two schools is diversity.  Looking at the latest statistics I found with a quick search:  as of 9/20, ATS was 23% Asian, 17% black, 13% Hispanic, 37% white, 10% mixed (I'm doing some rounding).  Nottingham was 7% Asian, 0.5% black, 8% Hispanic, 73% white, 11% mixed.  In October 2019, ATS was 31% free lunch, while Nottingham was 4%.  [/quote]

and size - ATS has more kids in total and per class and per grade but in a smaller space, Nottingham

True, although I'd take bets that Nottingham or Tuckahoe becomes host to an option school in the next few years and enrollment goes up at whichever remains a neighborhood school accordingly.[/quote]
APS Planning does have a bias in favor of centrally located (Rt 50, Wilson Blvd) neighborhood schools becoming options schools. This was loud and clear during the expensive Rube Goldberg school changes last year (Key > ATS, ATS > McK, McK > Cardinal). [/quote][/quote]

I don't know about this. Ony because we live in neighborhood by Tuckahoe and sent our kid to Campbell.  Bus pick up was 6:50AM. This was too much and so we are back at Tuckahoe.  I can't imagine if the majority of kids are coming from south of the county this working out well
