[quote=Anonymous]We are IB for Deal and that won't change (unless the city goes to 100% lottery open enrollment for all middle schools). I am intrigued by the accelerated pace of basis, which DS can handle, though he might gripe about homework. I loved the Dead Poets Socety vibe to Latin. And I want DS to TAKE Latin as well ( not Happening at deal). Candidly, I worry about lack of tracking at Deal and Latin when it comes to the general survey courses, which make up 80%? 90%? of the schedule. Kids in my kid's demographic profile performed almost exactly the same on the DCCAS, although interestingly to me, more kids [i]In this very specific demographic group[/i] were more likely to score "Advanced" at Deal than at BASIS or Latin. Much more likely, statistically speaking. That last factor gave me pause. What do you think is at play with that? And playing the what if game, assuming lottery gods smile, which of the 3 would you select? [/quote]
