[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI has a longer track record. We’re at a feeder and know many families with older kids at DCI who really like the school. I do think MacFarland is going to be great. New building, new principal. But just as you really need to be at a DCI feeder to go to DCI, [b]you also need to be at a dual-language DCPS feeder to get into MacFarland’s Spanish program (so BMPV, Powell, Marie Reed). You can’t drop in to the Spanish program from somewhere else. [/b] As mentioned above, an obvious drawback of MacFarland is Roosevelt doesn’t have a Spanish-immersion program while DCI does in high school. [/quote] This is why you would be crazy to go to MacFarland from a non-dual-language feeder. MacFarland is basically telling you they don’t value your kids as much as those from the other schools. Raymond is about 60% Hispanic, but DCPS apparently doesn’t feel like they are worthy of participating.[/quote]
