[quote=Anonymous] Do you speak Spanish? Are you and/or your child Latino? Do you love the idea of a bilingual program enough to stick it out for 4 or 5 years? How's your tolerance for ambiguity and miscommunication? It is not a tightly run ship. If you're easily frustrated with things like website not being updated and lunchroom chaos, constant requests for parent time and money, be prepared to be disappointed. There are many intangible benefits. The best parts of the school IMO are diversity, friendly families, and some amazing Spanish teachers and truly unique learning opportunities. You can experience some of the environment at the annual Fiesta this Saturday May 12. The complaints about the leadership are well documented on DCUM. I agree with most criticisms. But on a daily basis my kids are very happy and the location is convenient for us. In general, it is probably not a great idea to move only for a school. Hth [/quote]
