[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused why middle schools like Hardy and Stuart-Hobson have fairly low percentage of in boundary students (30 percent or so) but they also don't offer many if any lottery spots. Can anyone explain?[/quote] Simple reason. Back in 2010, Michelle Rhee unilaterally, and controversially, elevated enrollment in a feeder school to the same status as in-boundary vis a vis lottery preferences. Before Rhee, in-boundary had the higher preference. So what you have at both Hobson and Hardy are lots of students in feeder school who do not live in-boundary pinning down 6th grade middle school spots, leaving few to be auctioned off. Some of us love would see the preferences rolled back to the pre 2010 arrangement to support true neighborhood middle schools. No such luck - DCPS isn't interested.[/quote] Whut? If you mean to just kick OOB kids out of the feeder pattern, say so out loud.[/quote]
