[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my fear for our school's program (FCPS). 
There are a number of military families that participate, and then inevitably move out of the area (and school) within --2 years. This opens a ton of spots that can not be filled.

Grr. [/quote] My kid's immersion school lost 10 students after 1st grade, DC got into the program in 2nd grade, where there were 26 students per class.  After AAP and military moves, they were down to 21/22 at the start of 3rd, and I believe we are now at 19 per class due to 1 or 2 transfers to a regular classroom, and military moves.

I too, am curious to see what happens in 4th grade.  The smaller class size is wonderful, but I know it is not sustainable, sadly.[/quote]

Those of us with kids in 30 plus students per classroom do not look favorably on the immersion program for this reason. I don't think there is a "need" for those classes to be so small.[/quote]To be fair, as the PP, I know our immersion school has blended upper grade immersion students with all other students in the grade.  So, no worries... we're not getting special treatment. (And not one class in our entire school, to my knowledge, exceeds 28 students. Except the aforementioned immersion.)[/quote]
