I do not mean to intrude, but thought you might like to hear something from Central Time Zone too.

In Saskatchewan we were required to take English and French from 1st grade on, but all other classes were taught in English. You could go to a special 'French Immersion' school where all regular subjects were taught in French but most did not.

In the midwest we did not have a lot of French-speaking folks so we did not take french very seriously in school. When I moved to America I took German for a change of pace, and in college I decided to take Greek because it was connected to my major of Philosophy.

The country Canada is bilingual, but most people choose one language or the other. The further you are away from the province of Quebec (or big cities where diversity is important) the less important French seemed to become.
