[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP of the "Most diverse schools with high academic standards" thread.  I've searched prior threads, but haven't found much recent info about Lycee Rochambeau in particular, as that's one of the schools we're considering.  We liked the down-to-earth feel and diversity of the place when we visited, but had some questions for any LR families out there:

1)[b] Just wondering about how kids' friendships are affected given the high rate of turnover year to year. [/b]Right now our kid is at a neighborhood school with low turnover, and therefore has made some good friends there.

2) [b]Do kids mingle freely, or is there segregation by country of origin or language?[/b] I know this can vary year to year and class to class, but just looking for any insight. For example, do the American kids tend to hang out together, the kids from Spain, etc.?

3) [b]For those who don't remain at LR, where do students tend to go for middle and/or high school?[/b] Just trying to get a sense of how well-prepared they are to succeed in other privates or good publics after leaving LR. Obviously, not a big concern for now, since kid would only be in CP.

4) [b]For any families who've had kids in the French immersion program to start, how has that experience been? [/b]Just a little worried that she'd be the youngest sort of cocooned with only a few other kids for many months before transitioning to the regular CP class. I couldn't tell how often they'd actually be with the regular class during these months.

5) [b]Seemed to be a good amount of diversity, however defined, but where the heck are the black girls?[/b]  We saw several black boys in each of the classes we visited, but no black girls. What's going on (I'm being a little facetious, if wasn't clear)?

I've posed a few of these questions along with others to the admissions team, but also thought I'd see what folks think here, particularly about the social aspects. Thanks for any insights.
