We have an excellent waitlist number, and I'd love to hear from anyone with experience with the school. Specifically:
- Are parents involved? Is there a good community vibe? - Test scores are low - if you are in upper elementary, can you comment on quality of education you feel your child is receiving? Are test scores reflective of focus on Spanish and/or ESL children, or what? - What is your child's Spanish fluency level (especially if they started with minimal Spanish exposure)? - Can you tell me anything about aftercare? I've searched the archives, and there is very little written about DC Bilingual. Thanks! |

| We were accepted, and I'm interested to hear too. There is very little posted about this school. |

| Hate it. Yuck. Don't go there (says a parent with an equally good waitlist number). |

Seriously? Why did you even apply? |

| Um...I think 14:24 was kidding since they are both in competition for a spot via wait list. |

Yikes! 14:34 here - looks like I need to seriously chill out. 
(Good one 14:24). |

I was very impressed with the principal at the expo - smart, warm, confident, personable, nice. They had a separate presentation about their aftercare - an arts based program that sounded really interesting.
Sigh... Wish we had a better WL number... |

Thank you, 14:24 for the laugh. I think we all need to have some levity in this incredibly frustrating DCPCS lottery business! (says an equally flustered parent).
On a more serious note, I'd love to hear if anyone has more information on this school. - Overall atmosphere? - Healthy, supportive learning environment? - Involved parents? - Drop off / pick up situation? - Length of typical school day? |

| NP: And what's a "really good" WL # for DC Bilingual? Anyone know how far down their PK4 waitlist they went last year? |

| I posted on a different thread that #15 from PK4 last year showed up on the K waitlist this year, so I'm assuming they didn't get offered a spot last year. |

I would give my front teeth for my kid to go to DC bilingual. Unfortunately, we got a terrible WL number.

| No one else has any input on DC Bilingual? There are 160+ on the waitlist...surely someone has some experience with the school? |

Another bump! Really hoping to hear from some current DC Bilingual parents! And anyone with input on how far the waitlist for PK-4 moved last year would be a bonus.
