Questions

How many French-speaking schools are there in United States?
We list 38, in 18 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
New York, with 6 of the 38.
Is French unusual for schools in United States?
75% of the 51 schools we hold in United States are recorded as teaching in French. Each source records a language for its own reasons, so the figure reflects who publishes that information, not only who speaks what.
