[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From a test scores perspective, MV8 and MVP Are just not apples to apples. MV8 has half the at risk % of MVP and at risk % is a major driver of overall test numbers. I was very interested to find that white kids do significantly better at MVP than MV8 and Hispanic kids do slightly better at MV8. I strongly recommend looking at empowerk12 dashboards to get a better comparison.

OP, if you are committed to Spanish immersion and prefer charter, there is a very good chance you will be a MV parent. Stokes, LAMB, and DCB have long waitlists and MVP cleared their pk3 wait-list last year. But don't overlook convenient DCPS schools. They arguably have better immersion programs, lots of families are OOB, and DCPS is working on an immersion MS solution for CH. A lot can change in the time it takes a three year old to get to middle school.

Don’t listen to PP above.  Middle school comes fast and you absolutely need to consider that in your equation.

I have absolutely no faith in DCPS to create a viable immersion middle path much less a quality one.

[b]If you are on the hill, then you should absolutely know this OP if you talk to hill families about their middle school hopes and ultimately disappointment.[/b]

+1 Think about your middle school options and do not assume there will be some magical dual language middle school option.  [/quote]
