I’m not confused at all.  I’m referring to Spanish proficiency testing (in upper grades), not Spanish dominance testing in PK and K.  I know from firsthand conversations with parents that their children in higher grades were tested for Spanish proficiency.  I’m not saying that Oyster turns students with lower proficiency away (I don’t know one way or another), but these students are definitely tested—probably for placement purposes.  However, I know for a fact that no OOB transfer students in my children’s classes have ever come in without some level of Spanish fluency.[/quote]

OK, you are not confused, you are incorrectly inferring the policy from anecdotal experience :-).  It may be that none of the students in your childrens' classes came from other DC Dual Language schools (charters don't count).  It may be the policy changed recently.  But the principal was very clear in the open house, students coming from another DCPS Dual Language school do not need to take that test, everyone else does.[/quote]

I agree. PP is all over the place and pulling information from different anecdotal situations as well as actual policies. None of it meshes. [/quote]
