[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The  IB/OOB percentages come from the each school's DCPS school profile page http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/
The special education classroom listings are here https://dcps.dc.gov/publication/special-education-classroom-locations[/quote]

If the numbers at these links are accurate, then Deal is only 63% IB (so 37% OOB), and Wilson is 50% IB (so 50% OOB).  Seems like eliminating automatic OOB feeder rights would go a long way toward reducing enrollment toward capacity limitations.  Maybe no boundary changes would even be necessary once DCPS eliminates automatic OOB feeder rights.[/quote]

a) some of the kids listed as OOB at Wilson come from areas that were zoned out in the past couple years. So the kids may have been IB when they started and OOB now.
b) if the feeder rights rule got changed, there would be a long period of grandfathering kids in. By the time the grandfathering ended, the schools will be nearly all IB anyway. So it won't really make a difference for crowding at Deal and Wilson.  I still think ending the feeder rights is worthwhile because it will keep kids from trying to lottery into Deal/Hardy/Wilson feeders and leaving their improving schools EOTP. But it's not a solution for crowding.[/quote]
