[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here with question re: Oyster, tried to find on other threads or dcps website but wasn't able. What is the real definition for "spanish language dominant"? Does it work to apply as spanish-dominant if the child was in a bilingual preschool, if the parents are not native Spanish speakers? [/quote] That may have worked in the past, but it appears that times have changed at Oyster (beginning w/ kids starting this year). Kids admitted to Oyster through the OOB lottery (Span. Dom) are all tested in English and Spanish. If their English scores are higher than their Spanish scores (even if they pass the Spanish test), they will not be admitted. It makes sense b/c if your English scores are higher, then obviously you're not Span. Dom. Plus, the new unified DC public schools lottery will now provide a definition for Span. Dom. at Oyster.[/quote]
