[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bancroft could probably easily regain their Title I status if they improve their recruitment efforts. There are tons of income eligible families in Columbia Heights and Brightwood who could enroll at the school. Bancroft should definitely think about implementing a language fluency test and request equitable access seats.[/quote]

They could also give up their feeder to overcrowded Deal. [/quote]

I was at a Bancroft open house and an admin warned me that this is a very real possibility with the upcoming boundary review. It’s no longer economically diverse “enough”, it’s physically surrounded by non-feeder school boundaries, and there’s legitimate programmatic reasons to feed a bilingual elementary into the DCPS bilingual middle school (MacFarland). Like Powell before it, there would be a long grandfathering period, but I’d be very hesitant to buy in-bounds with a baby/toddler at this point.[/quote]

When is the boundary review expected to be finished?[/quote]
