[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y'all can have our spot at deal. I think it sounds awful.[/quote] +1. All three of my kids are zoned there and we aren't choosing it. Grateful to have choice in this city.[/quote] Yes. Understood. But there in lies the rub--or at least part of it. Wotp families sometimes bail on their elementaries in order to get into a private (often at 3rd grade) or to join a charter (often at 5th) and don't communicate that decision early in the process and that becomes part of the problem. They leave and often don't let their school know and the school ends up with classes that aren't full (putting the Dcps-sanctioned enrollment target in jeopardy) so those schools go to the OOB waitlist. Suddenly there are 5 new OOB kids who join that Deal-feeding school. I think if Dcps wants to try and help Deal become less over crowded they should consider a policy where Deal feeders don't offer lottery spots after, say 2nd or 3rd grade. [/quote]
