The vast majority of SA kids that attend ATS are the UMC white people who don’t want to go to their neighborhood school. ATS’s diversity stats come from mostly their VPI kids. The worst part of moving ATS to McKinley is that the expansion of ATS would actually further the segregation of SA schools. The NA kids that attend ATS often applied to escape their overcrowded schools. Now that they won’t be overcrowded, not as many kids will apply - except they could get a flood of applicants from the 200+ kid in the McKinley walk zone. I predict if they move ATS to McKinley and expand it to 800 kids (likely McKinley currently houses w trailers) it could be detrimental the the SA neighborhood schools. [/quote]
Where do you think the VPI students are coming from?[/quote]

Do the VPI kids get to stay for K-5? Or do they go back to their neighborhood school?[/quote]

VPI kids stay for 1-5.  In the past, they've had as many as 32/96 spots reserved in 1st grade for VPI.  Then siblings of VPI kids also get preference after that (with all the other siblings), then it opens to the general populace.[/quote]
