[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For example, can a Immersion kid from say, SSIMS or Westland, feed to BCC or even RM with simply a COSA?

Thanks in advance![/quote]  
MCPS has a policy of feeder schools.   Westland feeds into B-CC, so if you are in Westland in 8th grade, you automatically "feed" to B-CC.
SSIMS does not have any automatic feeders as it is part of DownCounty Consortium.  
Hoover MS "feeds" into Churchill.

Wait, so it's not just that RCF kids get to go to BCC, which is what everyone implies on DCUM.  RCF kids get to go to BCC only IF they continue immersion at Westland.  And Potomac/College Gardens Chinese immersion students get to stay at Churchill if they continue immersion at Hoover.  Kids who continue immersion at SSIMS (French or Spanish) can stay in the DCC (through the second round of the DCC lottery).  Presumably there is a similar feeder pattern for French immersion kids at Maryvale then Gaithersburg middle.

People on DCUM seem to think that the only preference is for RCF kids, but really all immersion kids have some high school preference.  Just because BCC is viewed as the "most desirable" high school by some, then it's the only one that gets flack for it.  (FTR, my kid is not at RCF, so I don't really have a dog in this fight.)[/quote]

Yep. it is not a special preference for Westland but hard to convince some of that[/quote]
