Sheesh, the moral of the story is [b]see the possibilities[/b].  I strongly suspect that they will remain in MoCo for most of the bilingual crowd.  Curricular choices in DCPS AND DC charter are politicized to an absurd degree.  MoCo focuses only on language acquisition, and that means more than a tiny number of native speakers in the mix at every immersion ES.  I'm not optimistic about DCI's prospects either, probably OK for middle school, but a competitive high school is highly unlikely to emerge from this complex and PC calculus.  A really savvy group of founders would do everything they could think of to attract scores of Tiger parents, including by asking DCPS to hand them a benign dual-immersion ES feeder on a silver platter.  They'd hire consultants with experience at Richard Montgomery's first-rate IB program, loaded with Asians.
