[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The payoff for ending OOB feeder rights at good schools with bad feeder patterns (like Brent and Ross) and really any school that doesn't feed Wilson is that more kids will stay for 5th grade (increasing school funding and test scores) if they know that lotterying into a Deal or Hardy feeder isn't going to get them a seat in those middle schools and that they will have a chance to lottery in for 6th grade, and again for 9th grade at Wilson. This doesn't prevent people from applying to charters or moving out of DC but it would make a difference. [/quote] This. I strongly believe that OOB feeder rights are quite destabilizing to the whole system. They also make the early-years lotteries higher-stakes than they need to be, and exacerbate the shortage of seats at desirable schools by creating artificial shortage.[/quote]
