[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thnk DCPS immersion elem should get seats set aside at DCI as well. Why do we keep punishing kids who dont have luck in the lottery when they are 6 years old all the way through middle school.[/quote]

DCPS immersion students have feeder paths for immersion studies through high school -- Adams or MacFarland/Roosevelt.

DCI is required to offer seats to any student (language studies background or not) who is interested via the lottery from 6th through 9th. There is never going to be a preference for students from an immersion program. [/quote]

Why shouldnt my kid at a DCPS immersion have an equal shot at DCI?  Plenty of DCPS kids go to charter schools in middle school? McFarland is not a solid choice compared to DCI.  But what I am being told now is that only about 65% of DCI feeders will get gauranteed rights to DCI.[/quote]

Your child can go to DCI, through the lottery, after feeder school students have been admitted.  Just like OOB kids can go to Deal, after kids from feeder elementary schools have been admitted.  There is a path to DCI for kids from DCPS.  [/quote]
