[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's remember that ATS's "success" refers to its standardized test scores. You may like it's culture or not. But if your kid didn't get in and you're disappointed, you can replicate the requirements and test prep at home while your kid attends their neighborhood school.

And in 6th grade it won't matter anymore.[/quote]

Why should parents have to fill the gaps for schools that aren’t teaching their kids to read and do math? This is not a new problem in APS.  I give the superintendent credit for putting it on a dash board for the community to see how many kids in APS need support for foundational skills.

ATS is getting it right which is why the wait list is so huge there. [/quote]

You do know that other schools are teaching kids, right? If you want your kid to play an instrument and tuck in their shirt, insist that they do so. If you want your kid to do homework every night, give them some worksheets. If you want your kid held back if they aren't reading in kindergarten, say so. [/quote]

Also know that the waitlist is so long because so many parents are looking to escape their high FRL schools.[/quote]
