Move ATS south and don't allow kids from high-preforming schools to apply is my proposal. I might not have been clear.

No it's not. You can move the building, but if you don't allow kids from higher-performing schools to apply, you're only going to have another low-performing school. It's one of the only ways for parents who live in highly segregated neighborhoods to get their children into a less segregated environment. But, I get it. You have yours and everyone else should "bootstraps!" For you, equality of opportunity is not more important than sticking it to your neighbors whose kids got into ATS.

Not to mention, there are plenty of parents from higher-performing schools who see the benefit in their kids being educated in less homogeneous environments so that they don't grow up in a total bubble and so that maybe the next generation is more comfortable with all of the people who live in the world around them, and not just those who sound, look, dress exactly like them.
