[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also at a DCI feeder with a DCI offer (thankfully) and families that didn’t get in are talking about moving. Precarious situation to be in and I feel terribly for those kids who are facing both that disappointment and a major transition.[/quote]

Yeah I really don't like this. This is supposed to be a feeder track that appears to run parallel to DCPS as an alternative. The system should be organized so that all the feeder elementary schools can send their kids to the middle school.

Who is running this system? [/quote]

The elementary schools are very aware of DCI’s enrollment constraints. They expanded after DCI told the middle school would not match the moves.

But most charters have to expand enrollment to continue being viable. So it’s a no-win situation for the elementaries. [/quote]

Stokes had plans to open a small language-focused MS EOTR and DCI made them abandon that effort.  It would work so much better for the kids at the East End Campus.[/quote]

Would love to hear more takes on the State of The Immersion Charters as you all see this lottery data coming in. For instance, which schools are still worthwhile from a learning/academic perspective even if you don't end up at DCI? I'd like to think that several years of language immersion or bilingual experience is not nothing, especially for a family targeting a heritage language. I see the WL shrinking for some but don't think that's necessarily a good signal and am new to this data and process. We're yet another Hill family interested in language but out of bounds for Chisholm. [/quote]

We were in the round this year that applied for a bunch of the immersion charters. Yu Ying has a brand new early learning campus and seems to be doing great; MV is about to open a new early learning campus and is doing great; Stokes is still very much in demand. The DCI feeder possibility was certainly a benefit for many of us who applied, but I think our lists would have been much the same if DCI didn't exist as an option.

FWIW, of the immersion charters I toured, I would have been happy putting my kid in any of them. [/quote]
