[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are IB for L-T (oldest starting PK3 2016) and as of now L-T would be our top choice UNLESS we get into an immersion school.  It has nothing to do with L-T.  Our ranking would be the same if we were IB for Brent or Maury.  We like the convenience of going to our local school.  The only programmatic difference that would make a longer commute worth if for us would be language immersion.  I think that this is a pretty common calculus and doesn't necessarily say anything about the IB school.  Language immersion is a desirable curricular choice.  People choose it because they want to give their kids the chance to learn another language.  It is often not any more complicated than that. [/quote]

Interesting.  Yet few JKLM and Brent families are choosing immersion because their push factors aren't nearly as strong as their pull factors in-boundary.  I've seen how Hill parents tend to swear by immersion for little kids, but can't swing it in the long run, particularly if their children are advanced learners or they go with Tyler SI (which lacks a viable immersion MS option).  Even the best immersion programs in DC don't have the hottest test scores, very impressive facilities, or nearly enough native speakers to offer dual immersion (other than Oyster).  But yes, some Hill families, particularly those where a parent speaks decent Spanish and can reinforce at home, do simply want immersion. [/quote]
