[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: In the immersion programs, how does the enrollment in sixth grade compare to enrollment in first grade? In other words, is there much attrition in the program?[/quote] There is attrition because you cannot join after 1st grade unless you live in a household that speaks the language and have a certain level of fluency. DS’s class went from 32 kids in 1st grade to 25 in 6th grade. Kids moved out, some kids moved into the regular class, and some kids moved in who were fluent in the language and joined the class. There are about 25-30 kids in Japanese at the MS, some of the kids in the ES program go to their base MS, some switch to other languages. Most of the LI programs have waitlists, Japanese and Korean tend to clear the waitlists but I think that the Spanish, French, and German programs normally have kids who want to attend but cannot due to space considerations.[/quote]
