[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't Campbell a Title I school, and isn't it high performing?[/quote]

It performs fine.
It’s a choice school and self selecting.[/quote]

Do applications at choice schools need to be made for the kindergarten year or is 1st grade also a possibility? Is one preferred?[/quote]

It depends on what you are applying to, and what your situation is.  You can apply anytime, however your chances of getting in are much better in general your kindergarten year.
At ATS the waitlist carries over from year to year- so if you apply as a 1st grader for the first time you would be behind all the waitlisted kindergartners.
immersion is the same way- without the same lengthy waitlist.
montessori is a little different b/c of the cycle.[/quote]
Unless you are a native speaker, you can’t do immersion unless you start in kindergarten.  You have to test extremely proficient in the language.  So I don’t think there is a waiting list after kindergarten.  [/quote]

That's definitely wrong.  You can enter as a first grader as well- and after that just have to be as proficient as if you had been in the program[/quote]
Just my experience living in the key zone, the only kids I know who didn’t start as kindergarteners are native speakers.  The school told me when I moved that my then first grader could not join because she was not a native speaker.  Maybe there was a miscommunication there.  [/quote]
