Feeder Schools

Feeder schools are educational institutions, typically elementary or middle schools, that regularly send students to a specific high school or secondary school. The term reflects a consistent flow of students transitioning from these feeder schools, often based on district zoning, geographic proximity, or established arrangements. This relationship helps high schools plan for enrollment and resources, ensuring a steady student intake. The feeder school concept emphasizes the connected pipeline of education, fostering continuity and community ties between schools within the same district or region.
