[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montgomery County may have been progressive at one point in time, but I've heard much better things about DC charters. Policies change every year, so you really have to rely on the information from central administration -- recognizing it may change next year. I've never heard of "Kemp" Mill. My understanding for Spanish is:

1) Burnt Mills, local only
2) Rolling Terrace, local, then county-wide lottery
3) Rock Creek, county-only

Wait lists are extremely long and do not carry over each year. [/quote]

Here is the information about eligibility for Spanish immersion: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/specialprograms/elementary/immersion-spanish.aspx
1) Burnt Mills (partial)--lottery for BMES students, then Key MS zoned ES students, then county
2) Rolling Terrace (partial)--lottery for RTES students, then county
3) Rock Creek Forest (full)--county-wide lottery, no preference for local RCFES students

The "rumor" that Burnt Mills is local only is likely based on the premise of prioritizing students from nearby elementary schools that feed into Key, before moving to the county.  The only full immersion program, RCF, is a straight county-wide lottery.[/quote]
