[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real question is why is Bancroft. [/quote]

yes. Both Oyster and Bancroft should feed to MacFarland and Roosevelt.MacFarland would easily have PARCC scores on par with Stuart-Hobson: not amazing, but able to get more in-bounds buy-in, and the school would get big enough to offer more courses and extracurriculars. By having Oyster and Adams only serve PK3-5, there would be a lot more ECE slots.[/quote]

Yes, eliminate a very successful bilingual middle school for… more ECE slots.  Great idea.   :roll: [/quote]

The demand is for ECE. The way to create more kids who are prepared for middle school and will lift middle school proficiency rates is to get them in at ECE. Having a tiny middle school does not allow for the courses and extracurriculars that provide a full middle school experience. It also makes no sense to dump a small group of Adams grads in at JR where they can't continue on their bilingual path. DCPS needs to plan centrally and not be beholden to a few hundred parents. If Oyster families want to have everything their way, they should create a bilingual PK-8 charter.[/quote]

This a deeply ridiculous post.  Adams is an enormously successful middle school - both academically and in extracurriculars (e.g. some sports teams competitive with Deal at a fraction of the size and lots of students that go on to excel in sports in high school).  And graduates tend to get 5s on AP Spanish language and literature tests, and many go on to use Spanish in college and after. The fact that you don’t seem to know any of this illustrates that you really aren’t qualified to comment on this subject.  [/quote]

What sports does Adams compete with on with Deal?[/quote]
