[quote=Anonymous]Regarding your question about public elementary schools in the 'burbs with Spanish immersion, Montgomery County has several options, but many have no guarantees based on where you live (they are lottery programs). TLDR: moving in-bounds for Oakland Terrace ES in Silver Spring/Kensington is your best bet for guaranteed Spanish immersion in MoCo (Rolling Terrace ES or Burnt Mills ES might be other options).

There are lottery-based Spanish immersion programs for incoming kindergartners at:
Burnt Mills
Rock Creek Forest
William T. Page

Any student can apply to these programs but there is a lot of demand and it's by lottery so there are no guarantees. Living in-bounds to the specific school does not help, except for I believe Burnt Mills.

The elementary schools below have "two-way Spanish immersion" programs which are only open to students that live in-bounds for the schools, and the program is for all students at the school (except for students in upper grades that started before the program was implemented, that does not apply to you).

- Brown Station
- Kemp Mill
- Oakland Terrace
- Rolling Terrace
- Washington Grove

Unfortunately, I have heard concerning things about Brown Station (lots of disruptive behaviors), Kemp Mill (bad principal) and Washington Grove (bad principal). I don't know much about Rolling Terrace ES, but didn't love the neighborhood when I visited (you should form your own opinion). The principals at any of these schools could obviously change by the time your child gets there, but that's what I've heard about the current situations.

There are also immersion programs at the middle school level in MCPS but I know very little about them.[/quote]
