[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they get one immersion program (which I am not entirely opposed to) I pray that they follow the method at Claremont over key. I obviously only have first hand knowledge of Claremont, but from what I heard from key it is a very different program and is not nearly as inclusive to Claremont (my friend describes the population as segregated, which is not my experience at Claremont).  [/quote]

This could very well be due to multiple factors, of course; but perhaps a great deal to do with the geographical preferences that have been in place.  Key is essentially a neighborhood school and encompasses the segregated communities in the neighborhoods.  Claremont has become surrounded by the English-speaking families purchasing homes in the neighborhood and attendance zone to guarantee their admission to the program.  Th Spanish-speaking families are those who are seeking out immersion and are not all the low-income Latino community families, but mixed-marriages and higher-educated, and bilingual families as well.[/quote]
