[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Back to OP, Murch feeder pattern looks solid. So long as your child is in K or higher next fall, you will be able to grandfather into Deal and Wilson in the next 5-10 years. The good news for your child is that there will be more high-performing charter options in the coming years. Your child will not be locked into just Deal/Wilson. More than 40% of public school students are in charters now and stricter accountability measures than DCPS moving forward, it's highly likely that secondary students will have more high quality options across out relatively small city than today.[/quote]

You bring up a question I've been wondering about. If there is to be any progress in changing boundaries (in terms of overcrowding), wouldn't DCPS have to do away with grandfathering and/or sibling preferences? It seems to me that if one or both of those preferences are not cut, then nothing will really change in the next 10-15 years.

Is there something I'm missing in this?[/quote]

Sadly, you're missing nothing. In fact, sadly you are more perceptive than the people who study this for a living seem to be. [/quote]

Agree with these posters, grandfathering would not be practical if it was in perpetuity, otherwise why bother? We can't keep adding on additions to overcrowded schools, like Janney getting second addition. They need to make tough choices and really change the boundaries.[/quote]
