[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the entire class.  And, again, it would be good to hear from parents of older kids at other bilingual schools with respect to how their kids are doing in the target language (which of course isn't measured on the standardized tests).  My impression from my friend whose son is at a well-regarded Chinese charter is that everyone in the 3rd grade classroom is still reading the equivalent of "cat" and "dog" in Chinese, whereas her son (who is actually reading fluently) is the exception rather than the rule.  I know of a 5th grader who transferred to Bancroft from a well-regarded bilngual charter who was reading at the Kindergarten level in Spanish (the spoken language was fluent; written was not) when they got to Bancroft.  They jumped several levels during their year at Bancroft and are now in advanced Spanish classes in their middle school.[/quote]

This seems horrible to me, and I am at another immersion school.  I haven't seen the data for my school, but all the children seem to be reading pretty well in Spanish by the first grade.  I think Chinese is a different story, so I wouldn't even dare to compare, but that is an absolutely shocking percentage to me about a spanish immersion school.[/quote]
