[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thursday the County school board renewed the school's contract for five more years.  Begining in 2018 the school will have a local catchment area for 35% of new students.  The catchment area is for pupils in the following elementary school areas:  Berwyn Heights, Cherokee Lane, Hollywood, Riverdale, Paint Branch, and University Park.[/quote]

What does this mean?   35% of new students need to come from those schools?[/quote]

No it just means those from those schools will be automatically allowed admission until the 35% cap is met. Every one else will have to lottery. It's simple. They're trying to encourage certain people to enroll their kids in the public elementary schools.[/quote]

The students don't need to be in public elementary schools to be eligible for the preference.   They just need to live within the catchment area of those elementary schools.[/quote]

Where did you see that? Thank you.[/quote]

The CPA Website contains the following language:

"Starting with incoming 6th graders in Fall of 2018, students living in the boundaries of these six area elementary schools will be admitted to College Park Academy The following areas have the opportunity to fill at least 35 percent of College Park Academy's seats: Berwyn Heights, Cherokee Lane, Hollywood, Paint Branch, Riverdale, University Park.

Please note: Families living elsewhere in Prince George’s County can also apply, but local children (detailed above) have preference up to 35 percent of the new enrollments."[/quote]
