[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know who rg is but I agree that Bancroft should go to MacFarland, like the other bilingual programs do/should..I think oyster-adams should feed to Roosevelt, or become elementary only and feed to MacFarland. It makes sense to have bilingual elementary schools feed to a bilingual jr high and high school, and deal/he is not that.

Glad they are considering getting rid of oob feeder rights.[b] How often do you hear people say they like their elementary school but are doing the lottery for a better feeder pattern? It would be good if they stayed at their in bounds school longer and then decided on middle school when their kids were in 4th or 5th grade.[[/b]/quote]

I hear you but my child is at an under-enrolled Title I DCPS ES in part because I like the school but also to get to a decent middle.

And no, that decent middle is not Deal. Or Hardy. Or even Stuart-Hobson or Eliot-Hine. I get the idea of OOB losing feeder rights to overcrowded schools like Deal/JR, but we shouldn't make policy just for Ward 3. My school flies under the radar in general but there are definitely parents who seek it because it offers a solid path through 8.

I would at least like an exception to losing OOB feeder rights for those who are in Title I elementary schools with high at-risk populations and low enrollment. It's a selling point for our school. [/quote]
