[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For RCF, once school begins, from observation, the chances of more WL movement are slim. The classes seem stable at that point. Varies from year to year though.

A lot of people will check every box available to them in the immersion form just because they can—even if they’re almost an hour away from the school—so if you have a lower WL number, there’s hope. How high a number is always the great mystery and varies year to year. [/quote]

Really?  That would be surprising if nobody decided the program wasn’t a good fit for their kid.  I can’t speak to RCF specifically for this but people often say the WL moves faster after the year starts because people are more likely to decline the spot once their kid has started school.  Of course, that might only be a couple of actual vacancies out of 48 kids.[/quote]
As I said, from my observation, chances seem slim (not nonexistent) when the school year begins.

And to the PP about what the high number is—like I said, it varies from year to year which is probably why they are vague about what the chances are at a given WL number. I would guess it mostly depends on how many students on that WL live really far away or already speak Spanish at home.[/quote]
