[quote=Anonymous]We live in the Oakridge zone and go to Claremont.  We were ecstatic about the immersion option, but I'm NOT a Spanish speaker and a bit of an introvert so I feel I have to push myself a bit more to get out of my comfort zone.  But its been fine.  I have been surprised that I've sometimes been disappointed that my kids' friends aren't as close geographically.  OTOH there are a lot of Claremont families in the Oakridge zone (living in the Oakridge zone and another zone used to give those families priority in the lottery, but that ended a few years ago).  One of my kids has a friend just down the street, though our next door neighbors and the kids across the street go to Oakridge.  But there are kids in the neighborhood who go to private school so even if you go to Oakridge there is no guarantee that the kids living closest to you will also be at Oakridge.  As for the teachers your child will have, unfortunately you have zero idea how that will work out at either school and very little control.  Also, different kids do better/worse with different teachers.  My oldest had a teacher one year that they didn't care for AT ALL.  My second child had the same teacher later on and really liked that teacher.  I can't say enough good about the Claremont principal, though I like the Oakridge principal the one time I met her.

Academically your child will likely do well either way.[/quote]
