[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]re: EOTR demand. I just looked up Houston elementary. It is hard to argue that there is unmet demand from English or Spanish speakers for immersion EOTR based on this school's results.

Spanish dominant:
PK3: 3 applications submitted, 5 seats offered, 1 match, no waitlist
PK4: 1 application submitted, 0 seats offered, 0 match, no waitlist
K: 0 applications submitted

English dominant:
PK3: 53 applications submitted, 24 seats offered, 12 match, no waitlist
PK4: 6 applications submitted, 3 seats offered, no waitlist
K: 20 applications submitted, 0 seats offered, 12 on waitlist[/quote]

Ok, but what about the context? This is the first year of Spanish and it is only for three grades, so there aren't siblings already enrolled.  Sometimes things take a little while to get going and develop a track record. And Houston's test scores overall are modest, which makes it less appealing to people but does not mean they don't want Spanish.

If you look at Stokes East End you will see much more interest.[/quote]
