[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The French Immersion is top rated but not for everyone. One of the advantages of it is that it goes through middle school which (research based) is the preferred model. [/quote]

How hard is it to get into French Immersion? What are the acceptance rates vs application rates? Is that info public?

Is it a strict lottery system for French Immersion, or are there any other criteria they look at? (maybe one of the parents being francophone, etc?)[/quote]

You can probably call and get that information on enrollment vs applications.  It also depends on which school you are zoned for Dora Kennedy in Greenbelt is harder to get into than Maya Angelou which is in the southern part of the county.  Maya Angelou had open K slots at the beginning of this school year.   https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/820268.page#15476641

There are no other criteria considered in the lottery but if you don't get in for K and you child can pass a French exam they can probably test into the program in in 1st or higher.  They have kids who leave and then they can only fill those slots with kids who can pass the French exam.
