[quote=Anonymous]So I think the pp needs to stop arguing, this thread has become an echo chamber of what seems to be a back and forth between two people.  
Proximity matters for elementary school because that is the only time where parents need to be able to access the school regularly.  Middle school and high school kids are more independent.  
The proponents for immersion really need to figure out what exactly they are arguing for.  Is it to stay on key at all costs?  Why, when you may be able to build a better dual immersion program at another location?  From this year lottery numbers, it looks like isn’t enough demand from the spanish speaking side to support two schools.  Demand from the English speaking side is irrelevant— look at ats and hb.  Aps has no issue with having extremely long waiting lists for option schools.  
If it’s to increase access, what’s wrong with having a spanish immersion classroom at several neighborhood schools?  How is this any different from Montessori, where you can lottery in at many different schools for pre-K?  Wouldn’t you get more spanish speakers if it was an option at the school nearest to them?
