[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know they got rid of their French Immersion program and switched it to Spanish, if it still exists at all.[/quote]

At this point simply going to Herndon MS/HS counts as Spanish immersion.[/quote]

This is a really ignorant post.[/quote]

53% Hispanic and growing fast.  70% of whom are English learners.[/quote]

My kids are HES-HMS-HHS. Your comment that going to these schools is equivalent to Spanish immersion isn’t true. Nearly all the children who spoke Spanish at home were already bilingual when they arrived at school. The language of the playground was English. My kids were in the Spanish immersion  program and only 2 kids did not speak English.[/quote]

PP and this is an idealized version and fictional.

By MS, cliques form and are neither utopian nor cross-cultural. This “separation” or really segregation was essentially what potential Luther Jackson MS parents were told of/when they expressed concerns about their AAP student given the choice (!) to attend there v. zoned Thoreau.

“Don’t worry - your student will *only* take classes with his cohort of other AAP students, except for P.E. Also, the bus will be all neighborhood AAP students. Your student really will only eat lunch with AAP kids. We will keep your precious DC in a safe cocoon.”[/quote]
