[quote=Anonymous]If your kid is into STEM and/or robotics, consider putting DCI on your lottery list for middle school.  I realize it is hard to get into if not from a feeder, but it’s not impossible.  There are some spots and someone wins the lottery.

I was at the one of the 2 area FTC robotics qualifier yesterday.  DCI robotics team came in 1st place out of 24 teams and they are advancing to regionals.  They totally dominated the day, ranking 1st in every round and finished with about 30%, yes 30%,  more points than the 2nd place team and those under that.  Announcements were actually made about how the team was doing so well in general in a competition.  It was amazing to see how fast, accurate, and precise their robot was in scoring points.  The school has an amazing robotics club with tremendous teacher running it. They also have a strong math and science department also.

Lots of schools were there competing including Sidwell friends, Deal, Latin, and from the burbs with Bethesda, Mclean, etc…. It was great to see a DC public/charter school do well against private and suburban peers.

Lastly, I was talking to a parent there and the seniors are doing great with college admissions and she knew kids who will be going to Stanford (2), Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia in the fall  These were all different kids and not the same kid.

I’m not here to debate schools but if you have a STEM kid, you should consider DCI.[/quote]
