[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live near 14th and U Street, so neither school is our in-bound option. However, the commute to both is very manageable—Bancroft is closer.

We’re committed to continuing our daughter’s Spanish education, as she has been in a Spanish immersion program since daycare. She previously attended the Upshur Centronía location.

When I reviewed the reviews in regards to Bancroft parents complained about class size. I spoke with the principal at Bancroft, she shared that Pre-K and Kindergarten classes typically have 20 students, with one teacher and one aide. As students get older, class sizes increase while staffing remains the same. In contrast, DCB generally has two teachers and two aides in the younger grades, which can be especially beneficial. DCB also recently received a National Blue Ribbon award, which speaks to its strong academic performance.

I also did some additional
Research and realized that there are very limited Spanish immersion middle schools in the district. I thought both feeders were Spanish immersion but I was informed that was incorrect.

All of this has made our decision a tough one, but we truly appreciate everyone who has shared their experiences—it’s been very helpful. It seems like everyone loves Bancroft so we shall continue our discussion to determine which school is a better fit for our daughter. [/quote]

Wait, you got into Bancroft prek 4 out of bounds? I didn’t even think that was possible??!! Wow! [/quote]
