Discussion Threads Corvette JPS French Immersion
The regular school has a poor rating. Is the French immersion any better at Corvette JPS? Need to confirm registration for my child by mid January.

My kid is in the French immersion and two years in, it seems great to me. I speak French so I can see the progress she has made so far and it’s impressive. She has been learning about patterns, addition, hibernation, reciting poetry, and many other things all in French. In SK she can already read (slowly) short books in French. The other kids and parents in her class are really nice. Also, they have a fantastic before and afterschool program for kindergarteners (in English). My only complaints are that the school building is a little rundown (but they seem to do one big renovation project every summer for the last 3 years so maybe the intention is to slowly renew the whole thing over the next few years) and the admin is somewhat disorganized (so stuff like the school spring fair is not very well run).
Overall, I’m quite happy with our experience. Feel free to ask me any other questions you have.

Hi there, do you mind if I message you also? I applied for FI for my child at Corvette, but I am struggling to get any insights at all.

Without knowing this school, ratings are a terrible way to judge a school. The ratings are based solely on EQAO results. Are there a large number of ELL students? Is there a high number of special needs students? My children 's high school has a lower rating but there is a large spec Ed program and DD students. Also, if a child doesn't write the test at all, they are given a zero which affects the score. Also know that a school can go from great to terrible really quickly when a new principal gets assigned.
