This.

Our school uses the clustering model but we are a small school and have a language immersion program so it is pretty much the only way to make LLIV work. DS is not in the grade that kicked it off so we don’t have first hand experience with it. My friends who do seem to be underwhelmed. But their kids are in 3rd grade. Our school also separates the kids into Advanced Math and Regular Math classes in 5th grade, when the jump in grade level happens. This effectively creates a LLIV type class. There is a large crossover between the LIII and Advanced Math kids, at least that is what my child tells me, so that the kids who were Committee Selected for LIV are all in the Advanced Math group and most of the LIII kids are in the Advanced Math group.

I would ask what your school does for Advanced Math. If it is to separate the kids in fifth grade then they are effectively creating a LLIV class anyway. Most of the families at our school choose the base because of the language program. I know a few kids left the language program for the center, one was already bilingual and the other I don’t know about but most stay because they value the langue immersion. [/quote]
