[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re missing the forest for the trees on that one. Take Stuart Hobson. There are still more students enrolled from Wards 5, 7 and 8 than from Wards 6. Take away OOB rights and add programming that appeals to most IB parents, eg advanced Spanish, science and social studies and we’d have a good shot at a Deal equivalent EotP soon enough. [/quote]

And what happens to all the kids enrolled in S-H feeders from OOB? They didn't lottery into those schools because their IB schools are awesome. Those families are using the lottery as intended, to get their kids better education options because their IB schools are failing. Those needs don't evaporate at 6th.

If IB families wanted to, they could just attend their IB elementaries in higher numbers and that would automatically result in fewer OOB students at S-H. Yet IB families consistently lottery out of the feeder schools, whether in PK or in 5th for Latin and Basis. If they want a school with high IB numbers, that is entirely within their control. Don't blame it on OOB feeder rights that just perpetuate patterns IB families themselves create.[/quote]

Kids who attend a S-H feeder could still lottery into S-H. They just wouldn't get a right to go there. The school would offer as many seats as it had room for. This would be fairer for people who moved to DC later or couldn't get their elementary school student across town or just were content with their ib elementary and now want something else.[/quote]
