[quote=Anonymous]There is no such thing in DC as "requiring a feeder pattern" because there are just too many other options with the lottery system. We're happily at a "weak" MacFarland feeder and I agree that families won't send their kids to MacFarland. They'll do exactly what MC and UMC families at our feeder do - stay until they can lottery out for a Deal/Hardy feeder or charter, or plan to move for middle school (many families planned to move after elementary all along because they're outgrowing the 2,000sq rowhouse with a postage stamp yard that they bought before having their 2-3 kids). There are PLENTY of MC and UMC families already in Ward 4, they're just not choosing MacFarland. And 1-2 more neighborhoods will not change the needle on that. Folks living in Deal/Hardy zones really just don't get how different school decision making is outside of their neighborhoods.[/quote]
