[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are into one, and have good enough lottery numbers at the other two that we will likely be offered a spot at some point for K, and possibly also for our PK3-er (we think we'll have spots for Powell and Cleveland, at least, for PK3).  Commute at Marie Reed would be by far the best, but there is that awful building.  Powell and MR obviously have a lot more Latinos, which we see as a huge plus; Cleveland has better test scores.  Both kids are already bilingual.  We have no idea what will should or would do, because we think all three schools have their pluses and minuses.  We'd love to hear the thoughts and opinions of others who have attended any of these schools.  Given a choice, which would you choose, and why? [/quote]

These are all up and coming dual language DCPS programs. It seems to me that MR is the furthest along the curve of these three. Powell gets a tremendous amount of boosting on DCUM but as far as I can tell it is just parents in PK so far. Cleveland is the one you hear about least, but with the new boundaries, the feeder neighborhood looks promising. But I assume that if MR is a convenient commute then Cleveland is not and vice versa.

My rank of DCPS dual language would probably be:

Oyster
Bancroft
Marie Reed dual language
Powell dual language 
Cleveland dual language
...

I've looked into all the dual language programs, and I would definitely include Bruce Monroe @ Park View in this list, equivalent to Powell.  The program seems good and has growing interest in the neighborhood.  [/quote]
