[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much turnover is there at sixth grade at WIS?  It looks like the school has basically 60-70 kids per class from K through 12th, but I have to imagine that changing campuses and ending immersion between 5th and 6th means that a number of kids leave and are replaced by newbies at the beginning of middle school.  Is that right?  Any idea what the number (or range) is?  Many thanks in advance![/quote]

The lower school has 60 per class.  I have a rising 6th grader.  According to their visit to the Middle School last week where they got to meet the new kids coming into WIS, there are only 6 new sixth graders entering WIS this year.  There may be a couple more that were not able to come to the student orientation, but probably not more than a couple.  The majority of the current students are staying.  The only 2 that I know that are leaving the school are moving out of the area.

While the 50-50 immersion program does end after 5th grade, in Middle School they take two to three classes (depending on electives) on an advanced level in their target language.  Social Studies, Advanced Spanish or French, and an elective course in Spanish or French that they can choose to add to increase their hours in the target language.[/quote]
