[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oyster has its own middle school called Adams. It goes until eight grade.

Also I read that Oyster seventh graders scored the highest of all the DC public schools in English reading, beating out all the others in DC. Plus their eight graders took an AP test for college and something like 96 percent of them passed with flying colors. And they aren’t even in High school yet.

That sounds like a pretty impressive dual language school. A shame more schools don’t offer dual language across the country. Clearly the kids that go there have some advantage.

DCPS should make Oyster-Adams serve PK-5 and send the kids to the same bilingual middle school and high school all other DCPS bilingual elementary schools feed into: MacFarland, then Roosevelt. That would allow more children to have the benefit of bilingual schools. Clearly the kids that go to Oyster have lots of advantages, and those would not end if they went to a larger middle school, [/quote]

It’s a good thing for us (an Oyster-Adams family) that’s not going to happen.  We would not send our academically advanced children to MacFarland or Roosevelt.  We would simply stay at Oyster until 5th, and then go private or move.  No one is going to make us send our children to a school we don’t like.[/quote]

That's fine. DCPS will be all right without you. But something has to give at Deal and Wilson, and Oyster and Bancroft make the most sense to move because of the existence of an underenrolled middle and high school that follows their specialized curriculum.[/quote]

NP: your agenda is clear and despicable, my friend. Let's get those Hispanics out of our school.

Btw, let me guess, Wilson is not even "your" school.[/quote]

So what is your solution?[/quote]
