[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if they didn't have the DCI feeder status, hardly anyone on this forum would be seriously considering them as one of their precious 12 choices at all.  I live very close to them, was excited to explore them last year, and did explore them... in the end our waitlist number meant we wouldn't have been offered a spot anyway, but we were WAY ok with that.  We would not have taken it anyway, and we won't be applying this year.[/quote]

I agree that the main attraction is DCI. I wonder whether that will change who applies/gets in. Can you share what concerns you had when you did explore them? I am also nearby but without any open houses thus far, and without them attending the charter school expo tomorrow, I don't know how much info I will have to make a decision. Are they on par pretty much with schools like Bancroft, Powell, and Marie-Reed, in your assessment?[/quote]

No, not on par with Bancroft or Powell.  Both are (IMHO) better than DC Bilingual.  Better leadership, better in-class and in-school environments (although maybe at Bancroft it varies a bit more from classroom to classroom - still I'd say Bancroft is better than DC Bilingual).  With Marie-Reed I'd say they're probably on par in terms of, if I tally up what I liked and what I worried about each, they'd be about even, but I am very clear I"d go to Marie-Reed over DC Bilingual if those were my only 2 choices (and if I wasn't thinking about DCI).
