[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I can't speak to other schools but my daughter's OOB classmates all pull from the same couple of schools. Maybe that's a coincidence, I don't know. [/quote]

No, it isn't coincidence.  Since FCPS doesn't provide busing for immersion, students need to live nearby in order to make the logistics work in 99% of families.  So we are in the same boat - at our Spanish immersion school, 99% of kids come from the same handful of elementary schools in the Lake Braddock pyramid.  Sure, some students may be "super commuters" or at a school near a parent's workplace, but it is the minority.

Same here. Not the LB pyramid, but almost all of the kids are distracted to the couple other schools in the same town. That's not to say there aren't ANY coming from a distance, but the vast majority aren't. So while some schools probably wouldn't have any noticeable changes if immersion were gone, there are probably several other elementary schools that would be taking in a decent number of extra kids.
