[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Lord, people.  The same complaints about HBW and ATS have been going on by parents who are jealous for decades.  Test scores at both reflect nothing but self selection.  Kids who don’t get in and have the same sort of parents do just as well at neighborhood schools.  In fact, I know many education obsessed parents who think HBW isn’t rigorous enough for their kids.  One family I know (this has been awhile) had a kid who was very happy at HB’s middle school but insisted they transfer to the neighborhood school for high school because they though the education was too soft.  Kid ended up at Harvard Law.

There’s another thread just posted on Arlington college acceptances by high school.  Take a look.  Note that there’s no difference in college acceptance rates for HBW compared to the neighborhood schools.  [/quote]

What does anything you are saying have to do with ATS? [/quote]
Not PP, but a lot of ATS students have ended up at HBW. So, from that perspective, it's the same self-selected families factor - even though ATS and HBW styles couldn't be much farther apart.
