[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 2nd grader and a kindergartner in a 2-way dual language school in Dallas.  I've read good reviews on Bancroft and Bruce-Monroe.  [b]I don't think we can afford homes in Oyster school district.[/b]  Any opinions on Bancroft or Bruce-Monroe or Dual Language in Alexandria.  Thank you for your time!

She's looking for other options. Posters are still talking about OA. [/quote]

OP Im posted earlier on the issues of BM.  But Im also a resident of the Park View (In bound for Bruce Monroe) neighborhood which I generally like very much.  Nice homes, lots of tree lined streets, lots of family activities on the stunning grounds of the Old Soldiers Home/Lincoln Cottage and easy access to petworth metro station.  And renovated houses in Parkview now start around $650 but get bid up to around 700k, average days on market is about 7.   I just wanted to add that to the concversation since you have to factor in what you can afford and then what public school you will be in bound for.  Its frustrating to pay so much money for housing and still be in bounds for such a challenged school.  In DC, very few neighborhoods have house prices that are "affordable" and get you a good school.  West of Rock Creek park, you are looking at 800-1mil for a lot of homes that needs updates and are small or not close to metro.  On Cap Hill, to be IB for Brent you are looking at probably 900k.   I love DC and I want more families to move here but previous posters are probably being fair when they suggest you look in VA instead.   And if the lottery doesn't work for us in a few years, we will head to VA as well.[/quote]

The Riggs Park neighborhood is still reasonable with nice homes etc. The neighborhood school is Lasalle, but you can lottery for you school of choice.  [/quote]
