[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shouldn’t we all be invested in our children’s schools? Not PP, but… huh? We applied to Sidwell and GDS and didn’t get in. Too bad, because the results speak for themselves.

I think someone above has a point. Are ATS students always at the top of the class in their middle and high schools? I’m not sure it has the advantage you think it has.[/quote]
I don’t know if they keep data on that. Most of the kids from my child’s ATS class went to Williamsburg or Hamm FWIW. Very few went to Gunston, Kenmore or TJ[/quote]

I bet it’s super obvious at Williamsburg and Hamm then. The ATS kids are the high achievers and everyone else can’t keep up. I’m right… right? [/quote]
That wasn’t my point, though I wasn’t clear, maybe mixing up this thread and the option school one. My point is that many of the kids there continue on high performing schools. [/quote]

ATS students get to choose where they attend MS and HS? (And Hamm/Williamsburg may be *higher* performing than, say, Gunston, but again, that isn’t saying much.)

What you’re saying may have been true in the past, but since residency checks started, Gunston became much less crowded. Fewer transfers happening now than in the past.[/quote]
No, they go to their zoned middle schools [/quote]

Exactly. Though some have been able to take advantage of transfers in the past (like when Gunston was overcrowded). Not the case now![/quote]
Actually there were some transfers available this year[/quote]

Some, but not as many. Ask me how I know. (Anyone else have two kids in two different middle schools next year?! 😭)[/quote]
