How is the teaching in the immersion programs? Are some programs better than others?

We want to apply to the language immersion programs Mont Cty. I've heard rumors that some program really aren't that great and have high drop out rates (especially at Potomac and Burnt Mills). Is that the case? Which programs are the most highly regarded??

I have a kid in K at Rolling Terrace. The school has had some infrastructure problems that are pretty much unavoidable given the nature of old buildings, humid environments and budget shortages. The teachers are wonderful. The classes are larger than I expected, but well-run and the children are making excellent progress in the target language already.

I am pleased, and feel fortunate that we can be a part of the program there. This will not likely be the DCUM-sanctioned answer.

It's not just a question of immersion teachers are good or not for partial programs as once you get to 1st grade you have both immersion and regular program teachers.
