[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sent two kids through Barrett and liked it a lot. It’s got a great community feel and is a lovely neighborhood school. The principal changed right as we graduated our last kiddo during the pandemic so my info is a few years old.  Neighbors with younger kids still there seem happy.

I get the sense MVCS is also a great community school but the demographics and curriculum are a bit different based on location and dual language program.  You should be able to do visits at both so just ask and then you’ll get a better feel for each.

Also, dual language is technically different that bilingual programs. Do a little research so you understand. But both can certainly encourage speaking and learning another language.  I actually wish the regular schools like Barrett introduced language into the curriculum.[/quote]

This poster is right do your research. The dual language was implemented at MCVS years ago with the goal to improve outcomes for spanish speaking ELL students. Sadly it has not and most students still lag way behind. [/quote]
