there is one very loud and AT person on here. The flux is nothing, really. The 70 new kids will blend with the 1400 and the 4 programs that are already there. It’s a great STEM school where all the kids are academically oriented. Private schools also accept DE courses. Our babysitter got a full ride to a SLAC and many de credit transfers. If your kid likes it, great. If not another will happily take the spot.

That’s not the the extent of the plans, which they keep changing on the go. There are many people concerned about it, including teachers at Langston


right but there aren't enough langston kids to really impact AT

Historically he should be get in. Last year we were in the 90’s and cleared after the first round. It’s not for everyone and many are explore options.

+1 I bet the waitlist will move tomorrow after kids are at school and find out who got in or not

New school opens in September. Kids from all schools already attend the CTE classes so I’m hoping that nothing substantial will changing socially


Thank you. So is the student/teacher ratio much lower than WL?


It certainly feels like it. It is a small pond . With expansion of new building things will change, but the small scale really suits us. The kids that have left tech want a big pond, more typical high school environment. The ones that have stayed or transferred in enjoy the size and focused program.
My kid is in 11th and everybody knows them and they seem to know everybody. They like the small vibe and STEM focus.

What is the point of DE credit if it’s a full ride anyways?

NP graduating sooner/starting grad school early


Yes, but if its a full ride why cut college time short, its generally a fun and rewarding time of life AND its how you build connections and maybe find romantic partners.

I guess you can start the work grind earlier, yay?


Not everyone has the same path as you.

Grow up.


Another benefit is they can take a lighter total credit hour load in a semester where they may be taking harder classes.

Less classes you have to take to earn your degree. Many kids can earn a masters in their 4 years instead of just a bachelor degrees


Do SLACs offer masters?

Many schools are credit sensitive so the courses are only counted as electives so students still need to take the same number of courses. But its like extra credit for your GPA so can help you make magna cum laude
