[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lottery winners for ATS are capped at the same level for each neighborhood schools. The waitlists are longer for the North Arlington neighborhoods.[/quote] Not true. That's HB. ATS is a "double-blind" lottery with no neighborhood caps. [/quote] Sorry, you are correct. Students at ATS are disproportionately white and to the extent that their neighborhood schools have low FARMS rates, their parent a choosing a school with more minorities and higher FARMS rates. Similarly, HB has a higher FARMS rate than Yorktown, Williamsburg and Swanson (slightly) and has larger waitlists in NA. What's probably going on here is that parents are looking for higher test scores independent of both SES and racial composition.[/quote]
