  12. Feeder Preference • Students from Gilbert and Mackey are given a feeder preference in the lottery. • 25% of the seats available are reserved for the feeder preference. Example: 60 seats for Drama = 15 seats for students from these 2 schools. If there are more than 15 applications from these 2 schools, they are drawn in a lottery, those not selected are placed in the general lottery.

  13. Other Preferences • Geographic Preference • Students who live in geographic zone • Sibling Preference • Students who are siblings of current 6th & 7th graders

  14. Why Set Academic Criteria? • Transition to middle school is difficult enough. • Demands of the longer school day, the many extra-curricular activities students are involved in, and the long transportation time add to the burden on students. • We want students to be successful.
