Totally agree with this. I don't understand it at all. Happy there are other school options. |

Nope. Lots of people see CMI for what it is- a joke. |

With 1000 people on the wait list, don't apply. |

Don't bother. Americans are ridiculously ignorant about language studies. They are still operating from the 70s in how they teach language. Most people use immersion and bilingual as the same word. |

CMI had under 400 total applicants ranking from 1-12 last year. |

For what grade? There were 908 total people on the waitlists for CMI last year. Are you just referring to PS3. Putting your info in bold doesn't make it right. |

You know, I was going to look up how many people were on the waitlist for last year, when I got stuck looking at the recent PARCC scores: Math Student Proficiency Levels 8% Did not yet meet expectations 35% Partially met expectations 31% Approached expectations 27% Met expectations 0% Exceeded expectation ELA Student Proficiency Levels 15% Did not yet meet expectations 19% Partially met expectations 27% Approached expectations 31% Met expectations 8% Exceeded expectation YIKES!!!!!!!! |

CMI parent here. I wasn't thrilled with those numbers either, until I learned that they referred to less than 20 kids, many of whom have significant special needs. (The highest grade at CMI is small and has a number of kids who are SN.). We expect those numbers to go up next year.
I don't understand the hate re exposing kids to two languages; this is common in European schools, and IPC is a British-based program. If you don't agree with it, don't send your kids there. My oldest loves Chinese and my youngest loves Spanish. They practice words with each other at the dinner table. They are excited to experience Chinese culture and ask for opportunities to do so. They enjoy practicing Spanish when they meet native Spanish speakers. It is wonderful.

For a school with relatively low levels of poverty, it doesn't perform that much better than some EOTP schools. Why again is it considered a HRCS? |

As a side note, at 10:30 at night, I'm not really spending my time looking up waitlist numbers and PARCC scores for other schools my child doesn't attend. That seems...obsessive.
Seems CMI has a stalker! |
