My coworker's kid is going to be going to Columbia for linguistics. She began taking Spanish in late Elementary but also stuck with it and made it a point to use it conversationally (she tutors at the local racetrack with a lot of the backside's kids and some of the parents). It wasn't just a language credit for her towards graduation.
It is what you make of it. Like anything, if you don't use it you lose it.

I agree with the inmersion stuff and that speaking another language could be helpful, but with how bad our students generally are, I think it's valid to question if we should devote that time to mastering our own language and math and science rather than to learning a different language. If our native tongue wasn't the predominant world language than it may be a different story.
