[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should make it a boundaryless PK3-5 Spanish immersion school. Then it, [b]Oyster[/b] (which would also become PK3-5), and [b]Bancroft[/b] should be moved to MacFarland and Roosevelt.

This would:

* provide more PK3 seats WOTP 
* provide more bilingual elementary seats
* not require any elementary school boundary changes
* reduce crowding at Deal (from Bancroft), Hardy (from IB families following the bilingual path), and Wilson.
* Increase enrollment and diversity at MacFarland and Roosevelt, and send them more students who enter middle and high school on grade level.[/quote]

What would happen to Adams?
Optics of moving Bancroft to MacFarland are like moving Shepard to Wells.   Not happening![/quote]

Adams can be grades 3-5 with Oyster for PK-2. This increases the number of seats available, especially for PK. Let DCPS pay for a bus for them like they do in the Capitol Hill Cluster if that makes it work.
Bancroft to MacFarland is tempered by the fact that Oyster and the new school in the Palisades would be going there too, along with every other bilingual school in DCPS. If Bancroft doesn't want to follow the bilingual feeder pattern, then it shouldn't be a bilingual school and it can keep its Deal feed. [/quote]
