why not?[/quote]

Look at the percentage of disadvantaged kids in the feeder schools. It goes down dramatically.

Immersion wasn’t important to high SES parents until more recent years. People weren’t willing to go to a questionable school if it meant Spanish immersion.  Now the schools are quite good and are full of high ses parents. [/quote]

Maybe. But with lotteries needing to happen in the future to get access to DCI there's no telling which students will wind up attending. High SES parents always have more options and if DCI is a 50:50 proposition, they will leave at or before 6th. This is what happened before DCI - and there WERE high SES parents in the original charter dual-language schools.

[i]Econ Disadvantaged student percentage now by DCI feeder school [/i]
DCB - 99.3
Stokes - 52%
Mundo Verde - 29.7%
LAMB - 25.4%
YY - 10.6%

Well, there is no way that DCB is going to stay at 99 percent. Plus YY kids do not have to lottery for DCI. I predict that the FARMS rate for DCI will creep down to around 30-35 percent and stay there.[/quote]

YY told its families it was time to think about an expansion ... so no lottery yet but who knows.[/quote]
