What do you hope to see in MacFarland as a neighborhood middle school?

As a parent of a preschooler in a Dual Language feeder school, I'd really like the program at MacFarland to take advantage of having kids coming from various schools to group them by ability for some (but probably not all subjects), as a way to increase the rigor of the program.  I think it would be possible to have some subjects in Spanish for dual language kids and English for non-DL kids (e.g. science and history), and then regroup them for other subjects (e.g. math and reading (in English)).  That way, you use larger pool of students a middle school provides to get all the kids the targeted learning they need at middle school.  And the added bonus would be the dual language kids and the non-DL kids would be mixed together for some subjects.

I think that could satisfy some of what parents are looking for in a test in program, without being test in and excluding neighborhood/feeder kids.
