[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Step 1 - Stop Grandfathered families that are not currently enrolled in Deal / Wilson from enrolling.  [Crestwood / 16th St Heights]

Step 2 - Cut option for Bancroft to Deal and move it only to MacFarland

Step 3 - Move Oyster Adams feeder to MacFarland

Easy

Step 3 is my favorite,  and would make Step 2 a good idea because there would be a strong Spanish continuation for the kids on that track.

Geographically it makes sense. Politically, DCPS  does not give an F. [/quote]

Don't you mean Oyster Adams to Rossevelt High?  Oyster Adams has is a Middle School and McFarland is a Middle School. [/quote]

I'd suggest sending both Oyster and Bancroft to MacFarland and Roosevelt. Make Adams the grade 2-5 campus and Oyster can have PK-1. This would allow more kids to have a DCPS bilingual education and more of the IB kids could have PK near their homes, which would be popular.

In addition to the steps listed above,  I would add a district-wide rule that when people get an OOB spot in the lottery, they only have rights to attend that school through the terminal grade. No right to its destination school. So if you get into Janney OOB, you have no right to Deal or Wilson unless you live IB for it or you get a spot in those schools via the lottery. This would help the Wilson feeder pattern, but would also help other DCPS elementary schools where the most motivated parents leave each year in hope of getting a path they feel good about through 12th grade.[/quote]
