Both of our kids (now in MS) had great experiences there. The teachers were mostly very good, the parent community is strong, and yes they both fluently spoke French by 5th grade (actually, earlier). We feel so fortunate that they had the opportunity. It was not our home school but we don’t live far so that helped a lot.

Entered the lottery for our rising K. How good is it really? Is the community close-knit? Supportive? How about teachers? Do kids truly finish 5th grade speaking French fluently? Is it worth leaving a "good" neighborhood ES/Public?
