[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like OP wants to 1) send her older child to DCI and 2) cut ties with Stokes EE. That makes sense.

OP, I don't think you can count on sibling preference to pull your younger DC into DCI on the Spanish track if your younger DC doesn't attend a feeder elementary. So I would suggest you prioritize getting younger DC into a DCI feeder-- ideally one with a guarantee, so not Stokes or Mundo. [/quote]

DCB has expanded. Yu Ying plans to expand as well. The only one with DCI guaranteed is probably LAMB.[/quote]

Correct, the only school that has an effective guarantee is LAMB, since they don't backfill and project the fifth grade classes won't exceed the number of DCI seats after attrition. Though MV has so many empty seats in upper grades, that they may end up with a functional guarantee as well. If they can't backfill enough, then there will be enough DCI seats for everyone who's still around. Also could end up a good strategy for DCPS bilingual kids that don't feed into JR - switch to MV for fifth, then continue to DCI. Sounds like a rocky year, but DC families put up with a lot for school choice.

OP, definitely lottery for Oyster next year. It's about 50/50 odds for OOB Spanish dominant kids in pre-K4, so worth a shot.[/quote]
