[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will take my 50% chance at DCI than my 100% chance at MacFarland.[/quote]

THIS. My kid is in 2nd now at Calle Ocho and we well knew that there wasn't a guarantee for DCI but Im am still happy to have a shot at DCI over Brookland Middle. And fwiw- DCI is not what keeps us at Mundo, we are very happy there. [/quote]

+1000.   Plus if you are serious about spanish, it’s no secret that MV has the strongest spanish program with a very large portion of educated native speaking families.

Also, we don’t speak any spanish and was shocked to learn how many non-hispanic families in our class when we started had at least 1 parent who was fluent in the language (study abroad, lived abroad, peace corps, etc…) [/quote]

But their test scores in Math and ELA kinda stink, relative to demographics... [/quote]

You obviously have no kids at the school.  They are serious about spanish and math and english is also taught in spanish 50% of the time, unlike most of the other schools in the city where spanish takes a back seat in the upper grades and it’s english.

So if your kid is weak in spanish, then they will struggle to get concepts in math and it won’t be a good fit.

Immersion is not for everyone.  If your kid is struggling in core subjects, it won’t be a good fit because less time is spent in core subjects and english.

Also walk the halls at the school.  Spanish, not english is spoken by the staff because all teachers and admin are native speakers.  we are at Calle ocho and I can only think of 3 staff out of hundreds who are not native speakers.
