State of the School at Bancroft Elementary --Jan 30

I could be wrong but I think to score proficient on DCCAS you have to have somewhere around 60% correct. That in itself is a very low bar.

Who wants their kid in a school that has that as an ambition?

The assistant principal seems to be much more qualified for that job than the current principal. She has international experience and seems more cultivated. Considering how much the parents do not like the principal I am surprised that she is still around.

Would you love Bancroft if it fed into CHEC/Lincoln (which is closer) instead of Deal for middle school?? Let's be honest..

Makes more sense if Bancroft did feed into CHEC/Lincoln, but I believe the boundary will change to Oyster. From my understanding the principal does not speak Spanish, which I don't understand if half of the instruction is in Spanish.

So, no information was given as to how these goals would be carried out? What was the point of creating these goals without any benchmarks? I wonder if the lower SES parents participated in any of this.

Maybe they get to 60% if most of the students visit their grandparents in El Salvador over the summer.

Makes sense to feed Oyster.
