[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just saw the September 2018 enrollment data is up. Interesting that Key and ASFS enrollment is down slightly from last Sept. The most striking thing to me is that Key has 23 fewer kindergarteners this year. That's an entire class! I know this was the last year the old policy was in place--I wonder if the uncertainty over the future location of the program affected people's decisions or if APS deliberately admitted fewer kids to the program? Or just a fluke?

This year's kindergarten class at Key is significantly smaller than last year's was at this point, but looking at current enrollment across the grade levels, it's still higher than any of the current 2-5 grade levels so I don't think it supports the conclusion that they're trying to shrink the program.

As for ASFS, it's enrollment this year is up, not down. This year's count is 680, at the same time last year it was 663.[/quote]

Yes sorry, I corrected my ASFS mistake in the previous post.

I do think it could be deliberate shrinkage at key. The immersion programs show more attrition than neighborhood schools because you can't start immersion fresh at, say, 4th grade. There will always be a much bigger cohort at K and 1st.[/quote]
