[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bancroft and shepherd send about 50 total kids to Deal each year, are you sure that will solve the problem? [/quote]

Deal capacity = 1200 students
Deal enrollment in 20115-16 = 1341 students (probably higher now)

If (as you claim) Bancroft & Shepherd are sending 50 students per year to Deal, that's 150 students total in grades 6-8.

1341 - 150 = 1191 students

Removing Bancroft & Shepherd would put Deal almost exactly at capacity.

Personally, I think restricting OOB feeder rights is a better first step than removing schools from the feeder pattern.  But if restricting OOB feeder rights doesn't solve the problem, then changing the feeder pattern will absolutely solve the problem.[/quote]

If Deal and Wilson are 40% and 50% OOB why is anyone even talking about removing any feeders? Sounds like the schooks would be under capacity if they're were no OOB kids. If they removed Eaton from Deal before removing OOB, you know DCPS does not have the will to remove OOB though.[/quote]
