[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do kids at any of these schools have another non-bilingual school they get IB preference for (including in the ECE lottery)?[/quote]

Why would get a preference to another school?  They already get a guarantee to a specialized program that the majority of other DCPS students can never access.  Bilingual schools should be citywide.  But if you are wealthy enough you can buy into it.   [/quote]

This can't be serious. But yes, all kids zoned for bilingual schools have an alternative monolingual school they can attend by right. Families choose monolingual because of special needs, a third language in the home, or any other number of reasons. The monolingual alternatives are on p. 37 of the enrollment handbook: https://enrolldcps.dc.gov/sites/dcpsenrollment/files/page_content/attachments/SY22-23%20Enrollment%20and%20Lottery%20Handbook%20FINAL_0.pdf

And there are more DCPS elementary bilingual seats available than enrolled families. It's completely false to say you "can never access" them, you just only want access to Oyster or maybe Bancroft or Marie Reed. But there are seats at Powell, Bruce Monroe, Cleveland, Houston, and Tyler in K and up if you want them. You just don't want "those" seats for reasons. [/quote]
