[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]We are looking at buying a house in 16th Street Heights that will be zoned for West in the 2016-2017 school year (its currently zoned something different).  However, for middle school its showing zoned for Truesdale and Deal for 2016.   I won't have kids in school until 2017, so assuming the boundaries don't change, would my kids have a choice to stay at West, go to Deal or to Truesdale?  I was under the impression that once you were in a school you could stay at that school, but am a little confused.

Also - any experiences/impressions of West for elementary are also welcome.  [/quote]

I am fairly certain that the boundary change will occur a year earlier than that (meaning this coming school year). At that time, West will become your feeder middle school because it currently has middle school grades. However, there are two caveats: 1) some addresses inbounds for West are grandfathered to Deal until 2022; and 2) a new middle school is planned for MacFarland and scheduled to open in 2018. Once that happens, West will revert to elementary-only and the new middle school will be your feeder.
