[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Some surprises for the Spanish Bilingual Schools, not that Oyster is number 1. but Bruce Monroe ranked so much higher than the HRCS bilinguals: -
17-Oyster
19-Bancroft
24-Marie Reed
35- Bruce Monroe
45-Lamb
56 DC Bilngual 
65 Mundo Verde-
75-Powell

We’re a Bruce Monroe family and this doesn’t surprise me at all. Have friends with same aged kids at all of the above listed HRCS, so we can compare what the various schools are doing. Aside from Montessori at LAMB, which is fundamentally different, and really depends on what kind of student the individual kid is. [/quote]

We are a BM family too, third grade.  Agree with your assessment. The issue we see now is the widening achievement gap in the class, mainly based on SES I think. That would be an issue at any DC school that isn’t WoTP.  Middle school though is why we have tried lottery every year though. Macfarland is not an option for us. I think in 10 years MacFarland might turn a corner though as more high SES parents stay longer at the feeder schools. [/quote]

Other BMPV PP here. That’s right, I think the issue exists in all of the non-WOTP schools (DCPS and charter). Have you heard anything about CHEC? It’s a feeder for BMPV too and seems decent. I’m surprised I don’t hear more about it as a back up option.[/quote]
