[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You enter the lottery - there is a separate one for each language track.

If your child doesn't have foreign language proficiency he will take level 1 as a 6th grader. The language you lottery into will be the one your child specializes in throughout their time at DCI. [/quote]

Thanks.  Is there a language placement test?  DD has some Spanish, not at the immersion level but not nothing.

Are there spots set aside for non feeder students?[/quote]

Yes there's a placement test. FWIW the spanish track accepted the fewest students for 6th (compared to Chinese and French last year). So you might want to apply for more than one.

No spots set aside per se. They determine how many seats they must have to cover the feeder students - and any leftover slots go to new applicants. [/quote]

My apologies - misspoke above.

For 2016-17 DCI offered the following for 6th grade to non-feeder students.

French 15 seats offered; went 4 deep into the wait list by end of August
Chinese 35 seats offered; went 52 deep into the wait list by end of August
[b]Spanish 60 seats offered; went 25 deep into the wait list by end of August
[/b]
Length of wait list at end of round 1 is available here http://www.dcpcsb.org/blog/demand-quality-dc-public-charter-school-continues-grow-washington-dc

This is good to know although things change year by year. Ideally we would love to try MacFarland, but lets hope there's some traction from the gentrifying neighborhood.[/quote]
