[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everybody. A few families with strong IB schools enroll at language immersion charters all the way up, e.g. kids in-boundary for Brent at MV, or in-boundary for Lafayette at YY.

Look, in this low-performing school system nobody much cares if kids who attend an immersion ES for years and years leave barely able to speak the target language.  If the kids can pass PARCC tests and the school has a high retention rate, in the eyes of system leaders, all's well.

I've been floored by the abysmal IB Diploma points totals coming out of Banneker and Eastern in recent years, partly because of poor quality language instruction all the way up. DCPS could care less that most of the IB Diploma students in the system fail to earn the Diploma with the lowest possible number of pass points (around 24 points on a 24-45-point scale).  I would guess that DCI admins will feel the same way once students start taking the IB Diploma exams.

You need to head for privates or the burbs for quality control in learning languages in this Metro area. [/quote]

Few WOTP families at DCI. It is filled with families with low-performing IB middle and/or high schools. See the 2018 student commute map. https://www.dcpcsb.org/dc-international-school-location-map[/quote]
