[quote=Anonymous][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

Sorry to hear that. I wish they’d make the CW option schools start a little later so that this isn’t a barrier. We live closer, but the bus is still really early since they do hub stops and try to get them there in time for breakfast. We have an early riser, so it’s not too bad, but if they ever moved Campbell to Tuckahoe and didn’t change the start time I don’t think we’d follow. [/quote]
