[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Capital City EL Haynes Creative Minds Inspired Teaching Two Rivers (but that's kinda far from where you live) Bear in mind that a lot of these schools do well in preschool and lower elementary but then not quite as well in upper elementary and middle school. Just because a middle school exists doesn't mean you're going to actually be happy with it.[/quote] OP here - thank you! Yes, I know I might not be happy with the options, I'm just trying to get a list I can work off of. The full list of 123 public charters is intimidating and unhelpful![/quote] If you are interested in/considering immersion, then there are the DCI feeders (though the strength of the feed, from a guarantee to just a preference, varies): Yu Ying, DC Billingual, Stokes, LAMB, Mundo Verde[/quote] DP, and just to be clear, these schools all have a feeder preference to DCI. What the PP is referring to in terms of "strength of feed" refers to two things: 1) DCI feeds from schools with Spanish, French, and Mandarin. There are way more Spanish students than anything else, and while there are more Spanish slots in DCI than French or Mandarin, as DCI gets crowded, you will likely have a much easier time getting a feeder spot with French or Mandarin than Spanish. 2) Each feeder school gets a certain number of feeder spots. Stokes and Mundo Verde have both expanded to new campuses in recent years, so it may be harder to get a spot from these schools than some of the smaller schools with just one campus. In other words, some people believe that you stand a better chance of being guaranteed a DCI spot if you go to a school like Yu Ying or Stokes French, than a school like Mundo Verde or LAMB. But a lot of this is speculation based on current trends. DCI might expand before your kids reach MS, or things may change in terms of the language feeds. [/quote]
