My daughter was recently accepted into Bancroft, and my husband and I are having a hard time deciding whether to make the switch. Since moving to the area, we’ve consistently heard that Bancroft, LAMB, and Oyster are among the top bilingual programs in DC.
That said, we’ve had a wonderful experience at DCB. Our daughter just completed Pre-K3 there, and we truly appreciated the support from the staff and overall school community. DCB is also consistently ranked as one of the top charter schools in the district, which makes this decision even more challenging.
Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to tour Bancroft due to the temporary relocation of Pre-K through Kindergarten to the Sharpe campus during the expansion.
We’re also trying to think long term—knowing that Bancroft feeds into Deal and DCB feeds into DCI adds another layer to our decision.
If anyone has experience with Bancroft—especially around its bilingual program, school culture, or how the temporary transition is going—we’d really appreciate any insights you’re open to sharing. Thanks in advance!
