[quote=Anonymous]Seems like the difference here is that Bancroft, Reed, etc. did not start out with those English speaking, high SES families in the neighborhood. (Even before it turned bilingual because of the influx of Salvadoreans, Mt. Pleasant was a working class neighborhood.) It's not fair to put all the blame on the school for not being able to overcome the enormous challenge of attracting higher income families to a school that never had them. Plus, as other PPs, have noted, Bancroft, Marie Reed, etc. still have large sections of lower income housing with their boundaries (while Oyster does not, right?) Throw in the nearby charters (CM, MV) that siphon off potential Bancroft families, and it's a an uphill battle. Maybe it will help a bit when those schools move to their permanent locations. [/quote]
