[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sigh, Marie Reed, Bruce Monroe, and Powell really are great schools with great teachers, but [b]will never escape the high SES flight (white and otherwise) because of the feeder pattern.[/b]

If dcps had the guts to say that getting into a school for elementary oob didn't qualify you for the middle and high school patterns, more people would stay at their elementary schools through 5th grade.[/quote] As a matter of fact, that was the story in DCPS pre Michelle Rhee. She was the one who granted automatic feeder rights in 2009. Huge mistake. Politically, it’s tough to take away a right. [/quote]

I see this argument over and over here- that feeder rights should be revoked for oob schools.[b] I assume that this comes from families west of the park who thinks that they are the only ones who's tax dollars support Deal.[/b] But I cannot imagine how difficult it would be for a kid to not get to continue on with their friends because they lotteried into their elementary school. This seems like it would create all kinds of social problems without solving the city's issues.[/quote]

I don't live wotp. My ib elementary is one where people are happy but they try the lottery every year because switching elementary schools guarantees a better feeder pattern through high school. If it didn't, more people would stay at their ib through 5th at least.[/quote]
