[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3rd grade at a DC language immersion charter, 18 kids, 3 teachers - head, teacher intern, Sp Ed.  Inclusion classroom.[/quote]

How does this CMI classroom compare with your local independent school? [/quote]

Not at CMI.  We are at Yu Ying.[/quote]

CMI is not immersion.

Smaller class sizes than local DC privates which surprised me.  Our class sizes shrink in upper elementary to ~15 due to attrition bc YY does not take anyone after 2nd grade.

NYC private schools have smaller avg classrooms than DC, avg 14-16.   Not sure how DC private schools get away with 18+[/quote]

Ah! I thought I recognized you, cheerful YY poster.  You're the one who's going to move to either New York or Massachusetts when your YY child is ready for middle school, so you can get keep the only-Mandarin,  not-DCI thing going.

Let's stipulate that YY is one of the better public schools in DC.  The better independent schools in DC (Beauvoir, Maret, Sidwell, GDS) have +/- 18 kids in third grade.   Maret is smaller (14 or 15), GDS is a touch bigger (20).  Sidwell ranges somewhere between 17-20.  [/quote]

Like I said, the DC private schools seem to avg around 18 :)

We've ruled out MA.  We will be moving back Manhattan...  I must say, I am flattered you "know" me!  :lol: [/quote]
