[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This NPR story has a table of how many 4th graders re-enrolled for 5th grade at various schools: https://wamu.org/story/16/03/02/5th_grade_dropoff/

This is entirely related to the crumminess of the middle school feeder pattern, not to the quality of the elementary school, though.[/quote]

Not entirely. Bancroft and Shepherd both feed to Deal, and the 4th/5th decline is 6% at the former and 12.2% at the latter.

Brent, Amidon-Bowen, and Tyler all feed to Jefferson, and the rates are -70.2%, -15.2%, and -29.4%

Garrison and Seaton both feed into Cardozo, and Garrison loses 18.5% while Seaton loses 3.3%

Or Maury/Miner/Payne.

Some of this is the SES of the students, some is feeder pattern, some is proximity to charters that start in 5th, some is taking 5th graders through the lottery, some is the quality (or perceived quality) of the school itself or its 5th grade teachers, or what the staff is telling families about their middle school options. But if OP wants a school where a lot of kids stay, this can be useful. Presumably, she can already look up things like test scores, feeder patterns, and the location of each school. This is another data point that speaks directly to retention.
