[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not true, PP. More than half of ATS is coming from higher FARMS. There would likely be more, but a lot of the FARMS Parents don’t speak English and don’t jnow they have a choice. There is also a contingent from Ashlawn for convenience.

The lowest FARMS schools only have 20 or less total kids at ATS. Wonder why?[/quote]

Do you have a cite for this?
Part of the issue is that ATS now has a VPI preschool class, which by definition draws in high FARMS kids.  They are automatically granted admission into ATS for kindergarten.
My kids went there pre-VPI and North Arlington was over-represented.[/quote]

Yes - Pupil Transfer Report:

Then look at FARMS rates:

The data doesn't support your conclusion. Carlin Springs, the highest poverty school, has an equal number of transfers to the lowest poverty school, Discovery. There is no public data available to determine whether the students themselves are eligible for fr/l.
