[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a middle schooler at gunston in the immersion program. We’ve been happy with it. In 6th grade, kids not in immersion take a reading class (separate from English) instead of Spanish LA. 
My kid does immersion & band, so he doesn’t get to take other electives but is fine with that. Science, social studies, Spanish LA, & TA (kind of like homeroom) are in Spanish.  It’s true that a lot of kids go to their neighborhood MS, but a fair number continue in immersion too. Only real downside has been getting up so early to catch the bus across the county. My son really wanted to continue with immersion, & so far we & he are glad he is. We haven’t decided about HS yet. 
You can always leave immersion but you can’t necessarily jump back in. [/quote]

OP, I would note that there aren't many electives in middle school; so that piece of PP's comments isn't really that significant.  There are only 2 electives for 9th graders and 2 for 10th unless you take a summer course like Personal Finance online, which opens another period and opportunity for an additional elective.

HS immersion doesn't really limit you academically or socially.  You're choosing immersion for a reason and obtaining the benefits of that.  Choosing an option program is always a matter of advantages and disadvantages; but I really don't see any disadvantages to immersion through the high school level.[/quote]
