[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are people feeling at schools that are new to clustering model? At my school many families are thinking about moving to the center school.  I am worried my DC academic peers are leaving.  I am not sure what to do for next year.[/quote]

I think folks will make the move, though I’m wondering if younger siblings will be able to be pupil placed. [/quote]

Younger siblings who move to the center are put in gen ed. Personally, being gen ed in a center and not having any neighborhood friends in the class is not an experience that I'd want for my kid [/quote]

The problem is that when your older child finishes at the center, your younger child gets kicked out unless they are in AAP.[/quote]

Not necessarily...It depends if there is space and the principal.  Also 5th graders are automatically eligible to finish out 6th grade.  What you do get kicked out of is the bus.  You either have to drive your kid or request an exception to ride the AAP bus if it comes through your neighborhood, if there is space.  That can take a while, so either way, you are driving them there and back for the first month.[/quote]
