[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As well, oyster is just a much stronger school than all other dual language schools that you can attend as a matter of right (ie, not charter). Much higher test scores, engaged parent body, etc. It is bilingual by design, and not out of default due to the super high ESL population of the neighborhood [/quote] I frequently see this "bilingual by design" comment about Oyster. What does this mean about the history/founding of Oyster -- was the neighborhood dominated by English speaking families, but the founders decided to go bilingual and created a process that allowed Spanish-only families from across the city to enroll (essentially like a magnet or charter)?
