What is a feeder school tiebreaker and how does it work?
A feeder school is an elementary school whose students channel into, or feed, a specific middle school. The benefit of this tiebreaker is that it supports keeping together those students who attended the same elementary school as they move into middle school. In many cases, even if students are attending a school other than their attendance area school, they will go to the same middle school anyway.
