<p>My school district has a gifted middle school program at a choice school, after which the students transfer into their neighborhood schools. Except not. All the smart people that should be going to my high school defer to the “smarter” one in town. It’s so annoying because a) they’re not supposed to allow open enrollment for “this school is better” reasons and b) because our school is losing the influx of those essential people, thereby keeping the other school as the “better school” and allowing this cycle to continue.
Is it worth bringing this up to someone above the people who manage open enrollment? They clearly state in the district policy that enrollment exceptions will not be made for academic reasons, but that is CLEARLY not the case.</p>
