Bellevue School - need advice picking up choice schools

My son got selected in 3 schools in kindergarten in Bellevue WA...Puesta Del Sol (Spanish program - choice school) , Jing Mei (Mandarin- English- choice school) and Cherry Crest Elementary - regular program I want some advice picking up the school My son’s older sis goes to Cherry Crest gifted program and I must say I am disappointed by the lack of diversity there...only Indian and Asian kids are there so that’s making me rule out the cherry crest program..I am an Indian by the way but I want my kids to experience diversity and languages Now between Puesta and Jing Mei - I am again leaning towards Puesta mainly due to the advantages of Spanish language and also the overall reviews of the school Can someone point to me advantages / disadvantages of dual language choice schools and the schools listed in particular? Thanks in advance!

Send him to the nearest public school in a poor neighborhood because he will get all the diversity he needs

Move. Get more house for your money.

You really work at Microsoft dude? Or do you possess a bird’s brain...focus on the question asked and if you can’t answer ..just move on!!

It's kindergarten for dogs sake. Language training is awesome for kids, but if you are stressing already about the school choice, I pity the kid. You live in Bellevue. The public schools are awesome. Save your money.

Nope not just kindergarten ..it’s a 6 year commitment for the kid until he reaches middle school...that’s the reason I want to make sure about the program!
