Bancroft, like Oyster, has no English-only track. If you move in-boundary for 3rd grade both schools have to take you and do whatever they can to get you up to speed, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Much as I'd love the kid to learn Spanish, throwing her into it seems a little cruel, yeah. I've thought about it.

Wait, What does SWS stand for? And where is it? And it's a charter? [/quote]

School-Within-School: It is an extremely popular DCPS that is city-wide and is Reggio-inspired. I think next year they may have a 3rd grade, but there is no chance you will get in given its popularity, unfortunately. There are no boundaries so you cannot move in boundary to get in.[/quote]

depends on grade.  less of a waitlist for upper grades and there's always some attrition.  Many families are set by 2nd/3rd grade and you could snag a seat.  Can't hurt to get waitlisted at SWS.  You won't get ECE spot, but the waitlist is less daunting for upper grades and even in-demand schools sometimes work through the lists.  SWS doesn't have boundaries and has fixed class sizes.  It can't be oversubscribed, which hurts waitlisted families for upper grades at places like Murch or Janney.  If a seat opens it needs to be filled because there's no by-right overflow.[/quote]
