[quote=Anonymous]Socially they would be fine. Academically I would be hesitant to put a third grader in a 50/50 bilingual program if they don't know the language. That's a lot of class time to miss, and a lot of extra work for the teacher (and Bancroft classes are BIG) to accommodate. How long do you plan on being in DC? Is your third grader academically advanced and/or have a high frustration tolerance? Do you want your kids to learn Spanish or are you leaning Bancroft because of the neighborhood? One thing to know is that bilingual schools have an English only alternative. For Bancroft the English only alternative school is Tubman Elementary. Have you considered Hyde Addison? It has a lot of military and OOB families and the school culture is very welcoming to new kids as a result. [/quote]
