[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know who rg is but I agree that Bancroft should go to MacFarland, like the other bilingual programs do/should..I think oyster-adams should feed to Roosevelt, or become elementary only and feed to MacFarland. It makes sense to have bilingual elementary schools feed to a bilingual jr high and high school, and deal/he is not that.

Glad they are considering getting rid of oob feeder rights. How often do you hear people say they like their elementary school but are doing the lottery for a better feeder pattern? It would be good if they stayed at their in bounds school longer and then decided on middle school when their kids were in 4th or 5th grade.[/quote]

But they wouldn't actually go to MacFarland. 22% of the IB students go to MacFarland, and the kids from Bancroft  or Oyster-Adams would go at even lower rates. You mean, they should be assigned to MacFarland, and then they would actually go someplace else. Which I mean, I don't have much of a dog in this particular fight, but rezoning students to a school they're not going to actually go to because you think it makes sense for them to go to that school...I'm not sure what anyone is getting from that. The problem here is the total inadequacy of most DCPS middle schools. Changing feeder rights or zoning is just rearranging the deck chairs there. [/quote]

MacFarland is already a potential MS feeder for Bancroft. Based on historical data, Bancroft families (Latino AND non-Latino) have not elected to send their kids to MacFarland.
