[quote=Anonymous]I think that talking about current OOB students at feeder schools is a bit misleading. If you look at OOB enrollment at Deal feeders kindergarten and below, I think you will see that the trend is fizzling. I suspect that the OOB feeder students issue will resolve itself in the next 5 years.

Meanwhile, while I understand that Deal and Shepherd are not sending large numbers of kids to Deal, I think that logical school feeder patterns are necessary. There are schools that are closer to Deal and Shepherd. CHEC and MacFarland are both dual language - why doesn't Bancroft feed into one of these two schools. I partially agree with the poster who mentioned that Shepherd's IB curriculum makes it a good feeder to Deal. My child is at H.D. Cooke. We are also an IB school. Should we also feed to Deal, instead of CHEC, which is dual language (while we're not)?

The feeder patterns as they're currently established demonstrate that Mt. Pleasant and Shepard Park were able to exercise political power to prevent their children from being rezoned to less desirable public schools. That's it.[/quote]
