[quote=Anonymous]1) The DC lottery is quite transparent. On the data section of the My School website, you can find results from past years, and that should answer some of your questions about how many kids get in off of waitlists for each school.The DC lottery uses the Roth algorithm, which means that you should list your schools in order of your true preference. It doesn't help to.put a less desirable school first. You should of course have some safety schools, incase you get a poor lottery number. The DC lottery is the gold standard; in cities like chicago, you have to be more strategic. 2) Most immersion schools in DC are bilingual, not monolingual in the target language. They try to use a dual language model, as research suggests that this is most effective for language acquisition. Yu Ying can't do this because they don't have enough native speakers. 3) My French speaking friends use this program http://www.saturday-schools.org/french[/quote]
