[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious why any school would be moved out of the Jackson-Reed feeder. Deal and Jackson-Reed would be below capacity if they were only in-boundary students. They would even be below capacity if they had a sizeable amount of out of boundary students - say, 15% - but not the enormous number they have now (22% at Deal and 36% at Jackson-Reed).

Why would out of boundary students be prioritized over students in the current feeder?[/quote]

Somewhat unrelated, but how does Jackson-Reed have such a higher percentage of out of bounds students than Deal? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the only way to get into JR OOB was to lottery into an elementary that feeds to it - Deal and JR are so full they never take from the lottery. So shouldn’t their OOB percent be similar?[/quote]

OOB kids matriculate to JR at a higher percentage than IB kids. Those kids peel off for Walls privates or depart DC because it turns out that the best DCPS traditional HS in the city is at best average as against other options (if you have the means). [/quote]
