[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]40 feeder kids isn't a huge increase from last year. Hyde and Stoddert have always sent a good number of kids. Stoddert is becoming more IB but the older grades still has a out of OOB as does Hyde.

Pride was holding 50 spots for IB. Not feeder but IB. Missed it by a mile which is sad. [/quote]

False. Pride cannot hold spots for IB. She can only hold spots (i.e. do not open them to lottery) for feeder school students. She went pretty close to her estimated number (about 44 kids give or take). She's a smart and experienced principal, she would not do such gross moves and mistakes, and she is extremely careful to carry respect respect to the current and prospective cohort of OB families from feeder schools. OB kids from feeder schools are her students, and more will become her students next year. To present them as lower-rated students would be unprofessional and would lead to a wave of discontent and protests from these parents. Note that a number of OB parents, and OB parents from feeder schools, are active PTO members, they are in close contact with the Principal and are vigilant on the process.

If you are truly interested in the school, and will attend the forthcoming open houses and ask questions in this sense, you will notice that issue of OB feeders versus "pure IBs" is tackled with careful language by the school administrators, for the above reasons.[/quote]
