Feeder school

Feeder school is a name applied to schools, colleges, universities, or other educational institutions that provide a significant number of graduates who intend to continue their studies at specific schools, or even in specific fields.

In primary and secondary education, feeder schools are seen in large school districts, where graduates of several primary schools attend the same secondary school. In secondary and tertiary education, some college preparatory high schools and community colleges are designed to feed local universities.
