[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d suggest all the OOB kids at Deal/Wilson will have to feed to Coolidge middle and high.

If you don’t like it, go to your neighborhood schools.[/quote]

Ending OOB feeder rights would also be a huge improvement. If you get into a school OOB, you get to go to that school. Not the middle and high school it feeds into. This would really help my IB elementary school (not a Wilson feeder) where the more involved/prepared/educated/etc. parents play the lottery each year in hopes of getting into a Wilson feeder. If they had an equal shot at an OOB slot at Deal or Wilson as the people who won the lottery in kindergarten, they'd be more likely to stay IB for elementary.

Also, right now if you move to DC with an older kid, it's basically impossible to get into Deal or Wilson OOB--the OOB slots are full of kids who won the elementary lottery years before.

I raised this in the last boundary process and the DME said flat-out she didn't want the pushback from people who'd won OOB spaces in kindergarten and believed that gave them a right to attend all the way through 12th. Hopefully the next boundary and assignment process will come to a different conclusion.

But I also think Bancroft and Oyster should feed to MacFarland and Roosevelt, with Adams providing additional elementary space. [/quote]

I'm not really following this argument that ending OOB feeder right would help. Most Wilson feeders , except perhaps Eaton and Hyde, don't have much OOB presence.[/quote]

What are you talking about? Deal is 30% OOB, Hardy is 63% OOB. Ending OOB feeder rights would immediately relief Wilson enrollment. [/quote]
