[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the time Oyster's bi-lingual program was founded---you had demographics more similar to Bancroft & Mt. Pleasant---a lot of low income ESL in apartments and then a higher SES native English speaking demographics in more expensive townhouses. For some reason, Oyster managed to attract and keep its higher SES IB families in a way that Bancroft has not. Plus, more of the multifamily buildings in the Oyster catchment area are market-rate based and gentrified over time, while there are a lot more subsidized multi-famly buildings in the Marie-Reed, HD Cooke and Bancroft catchment areas.[/quote] But if it started out with a lot of low income ESL families, then how was it bilingual "by design"? Because it started out with a lot of English speaking, high SES families, too? [/quote]
