[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Word is that Bancroft admin are preparing to be zoned out of the JR feed. Would take years to fully implement likely, but we’ll see if it really happens.[/quote]

It wouldn't shock me. It's certainly not surprising that they would try this.[/quote]

It would be a little bit surprising. Bancroft doesn't send that many kids to Deal and JR, in the grand scheme of things, so you're zoning away a less white population without solving the overcrowding issues. Not a great look.[/quote]

But it’s a 10 year review. Bancroft is getting rapidly whiter and higher SES by the year. In another few years it won’t bring much more SES diversity than any other feeder. Plus it’s bilingual and closer to the DCPS bilingual middle school (MacFarland) than Deal.[/quote]

I bet they don't move Bancroft this time, but possibly in 2033. (I live west of the Park, and theoretically my kids at Deal and a feeder elementary would benefit from anything that reduces in-bounds population at Deal and JR, so I'm not making this argument out of self-interest; I just don't think the politics works out in favor of this move right now.)[/quote]
