[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're #27 on the Key waitlist as a Spanish speaker, does anyone have a sense on how that waitlist will move? [/quote]

I don't but this surprises me.  I could have sworn in past years people claimed all Spanish speakers were accepted and there was no wait list.   Last year the number of Claremont Kindergarten classes was reduced from 6 to 4 supposedly to better align with demand, i.e. there wasn't enough demand to support continuing to have 6.  Also, I think Key was moved to a smaller building this past year.  However, if there are wait lists, especially for Spanish speakers...  [/quote]

Last year by June there was 1 Spanish speaker on the waitlist for Claremont and 6 Spanish speakers on the list for Key, even with the number of classes reduced to 4. [/quote]

I already replied to you but just realized something else about the data.  The waitlist numbers alone may be paint a complete picture of demand.  The numbers on the wait list PLUS the number admitted are LESS than the total number who applied.  I'm open to other suggestions here but the only explanation I can think of is that some Spanish speaking kids were offered spots at other option schools and took that withOUT being offered a spot at an immersion school. That doesn't mean they didn't want immersion, they may not have had the choice.  Am I missing something?[/quote]
