[quote=Anonymous]Stay with immersion - AAP immersion kids end up ahead of AAP kids at middle school.

Math placement for 7th grade is based on Iowa & SOL test scores. Not all AAP kids get placed in Algebra at 7th grade.  All immersion kids get Language I at 7th grade.  It is possible for a smart immersion kid to test into Algebra and also to be in Language I as a 7th grader. AAP kids can only get one high school class, but immersion kids can get two high school classes.

I am laughing all the way at the immersion parents who left our school at 3rd grade to go AAP. We stuck with it and my DS is taking Geomentry and Language II as an 8th grader. (language is a lifelong skill, AAP doesn't matter starting at 7th grade). My DS will have 4 classes going to High School next year. Meanwhile, the snowflakes down the street is just starting Alegebra this year, and some are in Geometry also - but my DS has 4 hs credits and AAP kids can only get 2.

You have a choice at middle school. You could go to your base school or the immersion middle school.

I have two kids - one AAP and one IEP is my joke, and both are in immersion. Both do very well, for different reasons, and doing well in different ways.  I think immersion saved the IEP kid - but that's another post.

I feel your pain on the immersion carpool (mine are 4 grades apart!!) But, stick with immersion.  Both my very different kids did/are doing well in it.
