[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What schools would feed Shaw MS? Cleveland, Garrison, Ross, Seaton, and Thomson, according to https://dme.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dme/publication/attachments/Final%20Recommendations%20on%20Student%20Assignment%208-18-14.pdf

SWW would go to "Columbia Heights MS" (I have no idea what that is) with Tubman, Marie Reed, and Cooke, then all of the Shaw and Columbia Heights MS kids would go to Cardozo.

So if you'd send your kid to a Shaw MS, there's no reason not to support combining the current SWW feeders and the current Cardozo feeders at Cardozo, and enlarging the elementary grades at Francis-Stevens to create even more kids feeding into Cardozo.[/quote]

The thing is, there is NO incentive for families to send their kid to Shaw MS or Cardozo Education Campus if they are happy with their current feeder going into Francis Stevens.  [b]The only people that would benefit from combining the feeders are kids from Garrison and Seaton (Cleveland can go to MacFarland) [/b]because they would get a stronger cohort from the kids at Ross and Thomson.  Meanwhile, the kids from Ross and Thomson will have a weaker cohort if the feeders combine.  As it currently stands, all the schools feeding into Francis Stevens is pretty strong.  Why would Ross and Thomson families buy into that?[/quote]

This conversation started with the OP asking what *Seaton* families were doing to improve Cardozo middle school. Getting F-S feeder schools to go there seems like a pretty clear way to raise Cardozo's test scores and IB percentage.

And only the dual-language kids at Cleveland can go to Macfarland.[/quote]

PP, get a clue.  They will never be able to force FS feeders to accept Cardozo.  It will never, ever, ever work.  That is why they are not going to try it.  It will not work. [/quote]
