[quote=Anonymous]Which Dallas school are you coming from and how long are you planning on staying?

Two words--middle school. That means Bancroft or Oyster-Adams. Bancroft currently feeds directly into Deal middle school which is arguably the highest performing DCPS middle school in the city. Oyster-Adams students currently have the option of Deal if  they live in the O-A boundary. In essence, you can have a big middle school with International Baccalaureate program or a small, dual immersion middle school. Both feed into Wilson High School. Highest performing non-selective high school.

In theory the school boundaries will be shifting soon. But even if that happens, there will be some type of grandfathering to protect families in the current boundaries.

Bancroft and Oyster are the most diverse racially and socio-economically. Consider renting in boundary for either so that you have a sold backup to the whims of the charter lottery. During that year you can also lottery for the bilingual charter schools or decide if you want to buy near a neighborhood school.

Powell and Bruce-Monroe have similar in demographics and both feed into Columbia Heights Education Campus (CHEC). CHEC is middle and high school. Supposedly they will have a bilingual track.

Tyler has three different programs, Arts Integration and Autism in English and Spanish immersion. Only about 10% of students are Hispanic and it feeds to Eliot Hine MS and Eastern high school which have even fewer Latinos.

Clear as mud, right? ;)
