[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the challenges of immersion study deters most parents of FARMs students from applying to charters, unless they speak the target language at home (Spanish). With immersion in the mix, you get an overwhelmingly SES student bodies at a few charters (e.g. YuYing, 10% FARMs) like at JKLM, Brent etc. Also, immersion adds extra challenge in a city without formal GT programs. Immersion works to get high SES parents what they want when they can't afford Upper NW or the priciest Cap Hill real estate. Few will admit this but that's the story.[/quote] Total BS. Pathway through to HS has become a strong reason. Since no other charter has this.[/quote]
