[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"the kids at cardozo" are just the kids from the feeder schools plus OOB kids who fill up the empty seats. By adding more feeder schools (and letting Francis-Stevens have more elementary school students by freeing up the middle school space) there will be more prepared students entering middle, and then high, school at Cardozo.

high school is a nonsequitur as all these schools have Cardozo as their IB HS. MS is the only issue here. It would just be taking the current F-S MS kids and moving them with the kids from Seaton, Garrison, and Cleveland. Which is why it's an idea that Seaton families should be pushing for.[/quote]

The problem is that Cardozo is 39% IB, which means that 61% are OOB.  It's not simply having OOB kids fill up the remaining empty seats.  They are filling up a MAJORITY of the empty seats.  And this will continue to happen so long as families at Seaton, Garrison, Cleveland can lottery out of their elementary schools in the later years.  No family from Thomson, SWW-FS, and Ross will voluntarily give up a middle school option like SWW-FS for Cardozo when the situation is what it is.[/quote]
