If you're not sure she's Spanish-dominant, I wouldn't bet on her passing the screening. People trying to bend the rules here is a sore subject. Just going to an immersion daycare or having a Spanish-speaking nanny is not sufficient.[/quote]

OP again. I totally understand and think it's frustrating when people bend rules like this. Our daughter hears both languages at home and goes to an immersion daycare. The fact that one side of her family is Spanish-speaking is the main reason we want her to have bilingual schooling. Just wanting to make it clear that I'm not trying to game the system--she really does get equal exposure to both, even outside of daycare. She doesn't have a "dominant" language per se.

Thanks for the links![/quote]

You will hear people say otherwise on here, but fact is she will count as Spanish dominant. Unless she answers even the Spanish parent in English (which you can work on between now and then).

I'd wait to buy. See how the lottery shakes out. Not a whole lot of IB options that are affordable and good anyway. Or, like someone said, buy IB at Powell or Bruce Monroe as a backup, but, if you are fine with suburbs you may just want to wait.[/quote]

You likely won't get into either school for PK3 even if you do move IB.  [/quote]

She should as SD [/quote]
