[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the Bancroft boundary and it is hard to imagine that the school won't stay majority Latino. There are tons of large apartment buildings on 16th street that house a lot of immigrant families. And they far outnumber the rowhouses in the neighborhood.[/quote]

This is true, but when thinking about feeder patterns Bancroft doesn’t bring much diversity to Deal.  Many of of Latino families living in the apartments in 16th send their kids to CHEC which is literally across the street rather than 4 miles away.  Others head to McFarland.

Also, Bancroft is 4% African American.  That is shocking for a Ward 1 school.  Every Ward 3 school has a higher percentage except Oyster which is 3.7%.  [/quote]

Are you making the point to keep Bancroft as part of the Deal pyramid since it’s numbers are inconsequential? I agree there needs to be an option for kids who don’t want to continue in immersion. Bancroft makes sense as a dual language school given its demographics, but it is doesn’t make sense to force people into ongoing immersion based on their address. [/quote]

What immersion school would they being forced into?  There is no immersion MS in DC.[/quote]

People meant bilingual. Macfarland is the bilingual feeder for DCPS bilingual schools-Powell and Bruce Monroe[/quote]

So does Raymond.   Show me where it mentions MacFarland being a bilingual school on their website or the DCPS profile.

All of the bilingual DCPS have a programmatic feed into MacFarland Spanish, except OA.[/quote]

If MacFarland Spanish existed wouldn’t they mention it on their profile or website?   Besides the links above, Here is their curriculum guide.  No mention of a bilingual program.
