[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Language immersion certainly has value. And Key is pretty diverse socioeconomically & ethnically. We are zoned for Taylor & send our kid to Key. We certainly aren’t trying to “escape bad neighborhood schools.”  I know many families zoned for Taylor and other “good” schools who value having their kids learn another language and choose immersion. 
In general, more choices are better, not worse. [/quote]

I agree. Unfortunately, APS is no longer in a position to try to provide added value to the education of a small subset of students. [/quote]

We're not talking about a small subset of students, though. It's a substantial number, and it would be higher if there were more opportunity/space available. If you think they're providing added value, you should be arguing for expanding them, not shuttering them. [/quote]

Yes, given the demand, popularity, and success there should be more available. But most of this thread seems to be populated by people who don't have any first hand experience with the choice schools, but choose to bloviate about them anyway, or people whose kids didn't get in and they have an axe to grind.
