Early immersion students "lag behind" their monolingual peers in literacy (reading, spelling, and punctuation) "for the first few years only".
However, after the first few years, the immersion students catch up with their peers.
Early immersion students are more successful in listening and reading proficiency than partial and late immersion students.
Starting in 2006, immersion students are privileged to study abroad in universities of various Spanish speaking countries.
It is because of this that immersion students are not qualified to receive a "bilingual" certificate.
In the sixth grade, immersion students go on a field trip to France.
However, comparing early immersion students (average age 6.917 years) with age-matched native speakers identified common problem areas, including third person plurals and polite 'vous' forms.
In 2007, the first class of immersion students graduated middle school.
Proponents argue that immersion students eventually test as well as others in all subjects.
Weltens explains these results, by the high proficiency of the probates (bilinguals and immersion students).
