[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I mean you could start by showing how many Key students continue on to Gunston, that’s a good proxy for immersion dedication. Show me that data, that the vast majority of the LB/Taylor/Key go to Gunston, and I will concede it is not simply geography. We still need a neighborhood school, but Immersion might be worth keeping at two locations. [/quote]

When my two kids finished at Key, a very large majority continued on to Gunston (I think more than 75%).  But that was for the Key classes of 2012 and 2014, so that anecdotal data is a little old at this point.  At least some of the kids I knew who didn't go to Gunston made that decision because they lived in far northern Arlington and felt the drive was too far.  [/quote]

I’m sure that was the only reason. [/quote]

PP here.  Others didn't go to Gunston because their parents didn't think immersion going forward was the best fit for their kid (Social Studies, Spanish, and Science and the Spanish language classes in MS Immersion).  But the majority of kids from Key continued on from Gunston, and very few of them live anywhere close to there.[/quote]

You could probably look at that as a pure choice for immersion for most kids who live near Key. The zoned middle schools for that area up until Hamm opening have been Swanson and Williamsburg, which are pretty much the same distance as Gunston. [/quote]
