[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What types of students tend to enroll here as opposed to HB Woodlawn? Just wondering how rigorous the school and what kind of reputation it has. Thanks for any insights.[/quote]

Kids enroll at AT instead of HBW because they didn't get a spot in the HBW lottery. You probably have a better chance of getting hit by a Metro bus than getting your kid a spot at HBW, especially coming from the North Arlington schools. If you have a kid who really needs a smaller high school -- and you didn't get a spot at HBW -- then Arlington Tech is your next best bet. Otherwise, you are going to a [b]3000 [/b]student high school. The college admits out of AT seem comparable to HBW, so it seems the school must be equally rigorous. The building is super ugly though, although going to be renovated soon. [/quote]

WL will be nearly 3000 before current freshman graduate.

The search for a small school drives HBW and will eventually drive AT if it can ever escape its vocational affiliation (hard to do when collocated with a program for cooking classes and HVAC repair — not the kind of tech WL parents are thinking of)

If AT can get it’s own independent campus, even a high rise like HB, and maybe put in a couple cool labs it will take off. Stuck in career center it’s a huge drag to have to navigate the shared campus[/quote]

The renovation will be a catalyst when it's done.[/quote]

Do you know when it's going to happen? Selfishly I don't want the program to get really popular at least until my son is in ninth grade. [/quote]

They are starting now. [/quote]
