[quote=Anonymous]Recently moved to DMV and am trying to figure out where to buy/rent long-term. Our primary factor is schools (we have a 2.5 year-old) which is why this post is under schools and education rather than real-estate. After living overseas for a few years, we decided that we really wanted our kids to go through a language immersion program so we've been researching options in DMV. Spanish or French would be fine with us, but we'd probably prefer Spanish. Here are my questions: 1. Do I still have to apply through the lottery if I live in-bounds in DC or Montgomery County? I've looked at the websites and they seem to conflict. MCPS lists some schools as "two-way" which I believe are in-bounds only, and others that are "immersion" which seem to be everything from in-bounds (they use the term local), countywide, and regional (can't find the definition they're using for regional). For DCPS the website says I have to apply via lottery but the same page states, "All elementary Dual Language programs are “boundary” schools. If you live in a Dual Language school boundary, your child is eligible to enroll in that school." If the program was still lottery on the local level, I don't think they'd say "your child is eligible to enroll". Am I missing something? 2. Are MCPS or DPCS planning to expand these programs? I've looked online and only see older articles (around 2018). Anything more recent that might not have hit the news yet? 3. If it all really boils down to a lottery, I'd like to know what my backup options are. To that extent, does anyone have experience with Rochambeau? I see a lot of mixed reviews online. Are there other schools folks recommend that would be nearish to that price point? Thanks![/quote]
