[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, send your child to ATS. If for some reason it's not a good fit, you can always send your child to Drew. You can switch at any time for any reason. The reverse is not true. You literally won the lottery. If you decline this spot and don't like Drew or it's not a good fit, you will not have this option again.

I agree the Drew principal is great. But ES lasts 6 years. There are no guarantees she will stay. [b]ATS is built around a solid model and works independent of the principal.[/b]

I had kids at a local ES with a good reputation, and we never applied to ATS. But then we lost our good principal and got a horrible one. And it was terrible.

Agree with PPs that every APS school should be run like ATS. But they are not.

My kids can read well, but none can spell well or write well. These things were not emphasized at their neighborhood school. We moved to Catholic this year because of COVID and it's run much more like ATS. Focus on the basics. It's been very eye opening. I wish I had done this for my kids from the beginning.[/quote]

Is this true? ATS had had the same principal for nearly 25 years.[/quote]

She has been there since 1992.  Fantastic principal.[/quote]
