[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. Bruce Monroe is a real gem but the middle school feed is the biggest driver of parents leaving.  Most go to DCI feeders.  that would be my preference too.[/quote]

But now that DCI is a preference and not guarantee, I really wonder if you'll see less flight to the DCI feeders. I wouldn't want to disrupt my middle elementary kid for a chance at a middle school, particularly when the DCI feeder parents complain about academics in upper elementary as well.[/quote]

But people are also complaining about upper elementary In title 1 schools too. I still think than DCI preference is better than no preferences and ending up at McFarland.[/quote]

Maybe. But I think it's very different to move to a school where you know you're getting a pathway through graduation, and the continuity with friends that goes along with it, and moving to play the lottery again in 2-3 years. Particularly if DCI doesn't replicate and a good percent of available seats get sucked up by sibling preference. I think lottery winners will continue to take DCI feeder spots, but you may not see as many parents pull kids when they're already established at a school. Who knows, only time will tell I guess.[/quote]
