[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a different “dropout” family. Our kids spoke Spanish going in to the program. We didn’t leave because of immersion, nor did we leave the area. We left for some of the other reasons mentioned in this thread.[/quote]

Thank you - I am one of the posters that has questions about whether to start children there. It sounds like instruction is mixed and you need to supplement (As may be the case at other schools), and that there is a drop off in students for a variety of reasons. Putting aside people moving, or not picking the language, I'm going to ask more pointedly -- what do I need to watch for to make sure Key is working for my child? Understanding this is an anonymous forum, what were the things that gave you pause and made you consider other schools? I don't know if that's a basic question, but we get so little information already at preschool and everything I hear says that we are going to get even less information once they go to public school, that I am concerned as to how I would even know if the kids are falling behind. I don't worry about them being bottom of the class, or not challenged enough because they are top of the class. I worry about them being in the middle and sort of being moved along because they sort of understand but they don't actually have a good foundation. Though to be fair, that is a concern of mine not unique to Key but to APS, though it's a larger concern with the language piece[/quote]
