And I think they were saying that whites aren’t the smallest racial group at ATS, which you were implying.

This is not true.

According to APS’ published data, ATS is minority white at 35%. So why do you say it’s not true? This is much lower than the N Arlington ES.

Oh, so you get to group ALL other races together? If so, let’s group white and Asian together, as Asians aren’t considered URMs in elite schools.

Tell me, which race is >35% at the school?

Do you understand how math works? By simple math, white families are in the minority

Information from ATS website.

Total Student Enrollment, PreK-5: 663

Students who receive English as a second language support, K-5: 37.3%

Number of Languages Spoken: 24

Minority Population: 66%

Not all immigrant families are non-white. Not all non-white families are low-income. Not all immigrant families are low-income.

It's a really diverse school. The common denominator is that families have chosen to be there.

No one is saying it’s not diverse. But if you break it down by race, white isn’t the smallest group.

Someone posted that “it wasn’t true” that whites were in the minority at ATS, but the facts is that whites are 1/3 of ATS as compared to 3/4 at most N Arlington schools.

So what?

If you’re making the point that the primary factor in student achievement is parental involvement (not skin color or income level), then I 100% agree with you.

But it’s becoming MORE low income, hence the Title 1 designation.

DP. You say "white families are in the minority". Then you say "Minority Population: 66%".

Which immigrants

Ethiopian, Eritrean, Mongolian, Bolivian, El Salvadoran...

Actually, that’s not quite correct. ATS is unique for Arlington in that it has a very small (~10%) contingent of Hispanic students (made up from many different countries, not just one or two), and 30% Asian population. That’s the largest percentage Asian of any school in Arlington, as far as I know.
And yes, all are very motivated, across all ethnic backgrounds.

Doesn’t sound like they need title I dollars.

So motivated and poor = not deserving of support and dollars??

Only unmotivated should get dollars?

Seems like APS is making the determination that only the motivated AND poor get additional funds. Unmotivated and poor? We don’t need to apply.

Did you even read the thread? People just want all the eligible schools (including ATS) to apply for the federal funds. Only one person said orherwise.
