[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why SWS needs a middle school feed.  Everyone who goes there has an IB school based on their home address.  If the school is city-wide on the way in, it should be city-wide on the way out.  That is how charters work that are not part of a specific system such as language immersion.  If there was a Reggio middle school that was fed by all the city-wide Reggio elementary schools then it would make sense that SWS would get a feed to that.  But, since such a middle school doesn't exist and there are no other city-wide Reggio schools to fill up such a middle school, everyone should just return to their IB middle school.

Neighborhood schools are for neighborhood kids.  Kids at city-wide schools can fill open spaces at those neighborhood schools through the city-wide OOB lottery. [/quote]

So is the penalty for attending a city-wide school not being able to stay with your cohort and friends from K-5?  You sign on for city wide, you sign on to sending your kid to a new group of students and new environment in MS?  I'm not saying I disagree withy his, just wondering what the sentiment is surrounding citywide schools.  If DCPS were to add more citywide, specialized schools, is this the general consensus about what should happens to them in MS?  Does this mean citywide schools ultimately hurt or help the MS feed... Is this an argument against them? [/quote]
