Actually, there are at least two ivy admissions so far (in early decisions). The regular decisions don't come out until April. Also, I see Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, Ga Tech, UCLA and Swarthmore and Bryn Mawr on naviance acceptances for this year.

OK, but Naviance acceptances are self-reported by families, not the gospel truth.

Are you so skeptical that you think all these kids are lying? That you want concrete proof? Guess you can say that about all the kids at the other schools are lying too.

No kids at the school, but I find it really sad with people like above or those that say the kids are not strong or the school is not strong. Yes both have been posted above. You need both a strong student and a strong curriculum for these accomplishments. It’s not one or the other.

These people are just so insecure about themselves or their school that they have to put down others. That is the saddest part.

As DC residents, we should all be happy that there is another viable and potential middle/high school option for DC kids.

Great job DCI and the class of 2021!

I would think families WOTP in the Deal and Wilson feeders would be ecstatic about this.

Families that would move WOTP for middle and high school might now view DCI as a potential option. That means potentially less kids in what is already severe overcrowding issue in these schools.

We are DCI family and while not WOTP, we are grandfathered into Deal in 16th St. Heights. We are generally happy at DCI, but have one more year, 8th grade next year, to transfer to Deal if we want. We weren't really considering it, but I will admit that college acceptances were the last uncertainty for me with DCI. This list puts those concerns out of my mind and atm, we plan to stay at DCI through high school.

To the earlier poster. yes we should be "happy" there is another viable middle school in DC but it only serves a few lucky kids who got into a feeder when they were probably 5 years old and now they privilege and luck will carry them through high school. Why not set aside more seats for all kids at bilingual DCPS? MacFarland is a disaster.

I don’t think you realize the history of the formation of DCI. The school was created due to the needs of the immersion charters having no continuity for the kids to continue their languages in middle and high school. That was the whole reason for forming DCI. See link below.

If there was enough seats, sure they could offer it to kids at bilingual schools in DCPS. But there isn’t.

And Bucknell, Elon, UMD, Pitt, Penn State, Ohio State, UMass and more.

And Virginia Tech, Purdue, UNCs, UCBoulder, too.

A few more up there: Wake Forest, Carnegie Mellon, and RIT.

Middlebury, McGill, Georgetown, BU, Syracuse, UCB, UCSD, Kent State. Multiples in some cases.

Seriously? The kids in bilingual DCPS schools got lucky simply because of their address and the ability of high SES families ability to buy into Mt. Pleasant or 16th Street Heights. At least the DCI feeders are open to all. DCPS immersion schools should be citywide schools.

The above post did not age well. Yale has accepted its first DCI graduate.

[Anonymous]

Such great news!

[Anonymous]

Fantastic news! Congrats to that kid and all the DCI graduates.

[Anonymous]

And a Brown acceptance! Even more important, 10 MILLION in scholarships!!!

[Anonymous]

Two Yale acceptances actually

[Anonymous]

This is great news. Do most DCI middle schoolers stay through high school?

[Anonymous]

So what does this mean now for the MS/HS? Is this now a ‘good’ local charter school? I mean this question sincerely. I wonder if the cons ( classroom behavioral issues, drugs, reportedly weak academics) no longer hold as much weight?
