[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Make the entry year the same for all schools.[/b] (Looking at you, BASIS and Latin.) At risk preference in the lottery. Don’t let the issues of the Wilson feeder pattern distract from the different issues in other wards, especially 7/8. Wilson issues: oob cheating, overcrowding, property values. Rest of the city: instability, creaming, middle school quality.[/quote]

And SWW@FS, Oyster-Adams, CHML, Cap City, EL Haynes, and KIPP. This isn't a one-sector issue.

One thing Michelle Rhee did was to move all DCPS to the same entry years.  This is the reason why Middle Schools had been such a mess.  There were a combination model of Educational Campuses (through 8th) and Elementary / Middle Schools.

I believe there are only 3 schools across DCPS that no longer are in the traditional entry year models:   
1 - CHML
2 - SWW@FW
3 - Oyster-Adams

Each of these schools has a logical reason why they are still in the model through 8th grade.    DCPS does not and should not align to the charter model unless there is a city wide reason for 5th graders to be middle schoolers.   Most parents I have spoken with prefer their 5th graders to still be in Elementary School.[/quote]
