ATS parent. I support setting aside more K-5 slots for FRL families.
Btw Montessori pre-k uses that model but the elementary school has a lower FRM rate than ATS.
Colleges can’t even set aside spots based on race. But public elementary schools can?
Who said race? This is FRL.
There are white kids in the VPI classes.
Right, but PP said minorities. Reading comprehension, people. No wonder our kids are struggling.
Oh sorry, did that disadvantaged argument strike a nerve? You people smell of fear. Like maybe your free country day school might actually get redirected to people who really need it. Love it.
Huh? My kids don’t even go to ATS. Just saying you can’t fill a school based on race.
Well, that’s not true. How do you think our schools became (and remain) so segregated? It’s not an accident.
Housing policy (historically) and home prices (currently).
I’m not saying they aren’t segregated. I’m saying APS can’t make a policy that states certain schools must be x percent POC. Universities can’t even do that.
Should there be a greater mix demographically in our schools? I want there to be. Though realistically, how do they do that? Bus kids all over town? And what happens when even more families leave for private school? Take a look at Alexandria. It isn’t so pretty.
The Ashlawn boundary is contiguous to Carlin Springs and Barrett. Innovation has been “picked” to be the North Arlington future school for massive amounts of affordable housing, yet you have Science Focus about a mile up the road and one metro stop away. Would you consider adjusting those boundaries too radical? It wouldn’t require a “bus all over town.” I don’t think most people are aware how blatantly segregated the boundaries are in some instances. It cannot be reasonably explained away.
Are you in favor of eliminating the wrap-around services some of these title I schools offer? Spread the poor kids out between different high-performing schools, dropping them at the door and saying “good luck”?
I’m not sure what the answer is, but I know APS doesn’t have the resources to offer some of those services at EVERY school.
Are you saying that the kids who receive free and reduced lunch at the non-Title 1 schools are dropped at the door and told “good luck?” And that their educational outcomes are worse?
The kids at some of our title I schools get more help than just free lunch. Did you not know that?
Of course I know that. You haven’t answered the question.
I mean, I guess they’d be told “good luck” in the sense that they wouldn’t get the same services offered at a Title I school.
Are there educational outcomes worse? Not sure. But the real question is — are they better?
Let’s take ATS out of this. Do low SES kids perform better at non-Title I schools? Honest question. Show me the data.

Yes. Non VPI students have very low chance of getting in. After VPI and siblings, I think it’s like 8% chance.
91 seats offered in Kindergarten for 2023/2024 school year. 45 VPI students admitted and 39 siblings only leaves 7 spots for nonVPI with no sibling.
These were similar stats to Claremont this year. This is a somewhat new process right? Or is is just that there are more PreK classes? I mean another 5 years and it seems liek the majority of students will come out of VPI at all choice schools. It will be a different population.
I thought the new affordable housing on Wash Blvd near Kirkwood was going to ASFS?

I don’t know much about that, but what you describe sounds reasonable to me. Also, some Abingdon and Oakridge families should probably go to Drew.
But let’s not pretend these are going to make huge changes, especially as neighborhoods converge at the MS and HS level. Desegregating those schools WOULD require bussing, and I don’t see many NA families being willing to ride a bus an hour to Wakefield.
We’d end up like Alexandria.
