[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should also get rid of immersion, move that to a lower ses school that has capacity. Too many people are using it as a reason to attend a McLean school when they are zoned for a bad school[/quote]

Most immersion kids come from other elementary schools in the Langley, McLean, and Marshall pyramids.  They are there for the immersion program, not to avoid a “bad school.”

You could move the French program to a low SES school and then the program would just die or get turned into yet another Spanish immersion program in a few years. [/quote]

Many are zoned for bad school like timberland and Westgate and use it as a way to avoid attending those and Marshall zones[/quote]

I will check the numbers but don’t think this has a lot to do with the overcrowding at KG.  The two main causes have been tear downs in the KG district (lots of older people selling their houses, which get torn down and replaced by big houses purchased by people w/kids) and the AAP changes (adding AAP to Cooper and LLIV to KG incentivized people zoned for KG to keep their AAP kids at KG rather than send them to Churchill Road).
