[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lafayette is also in Ward 4, so obviously it would be on the move list. And whatever school it moved to would instantly have a critical mass of great scores. [/quote]
Yes, that's an option.  I think these are the steps to take, in order:

1. Limit OOB feeder rights.  In-bounds feeder students get priority access, followed by OOB feeder students, followed by pure OOB students, up to whatever the max capacity of  the school is.  If that solves the overcrowding problem, no need to go further, but if more is needed, then go to step 2.

2. Shift Shepherd and/or Bancroft to MacFarland.  Those are the two elementary schools closest to MacFarland, so if a further reduction in enrollment is necessary, that shift seems obvious.  If that solves the overcrowding problem, no need to go further, but if more is needed, then go to step 3.

3. Shift Lafayette to MacFarland. The alternative option might be to shift Hearst to Hardy.  That's a longer route to travel for each of them than the current arrangement, but if Deal is still overcrowded after taking steps 1 & 2, then these other shifts are the obvious next option.[/quote]
