So why are you posting here?  Im confused.[/quote]

We have experience with both Adams & DCI. Supplementing wore us out & cost plenty. When we got to MoCo, kid struggled to work at grade level despite years of excellent grades in DC public schools.

We have nothing to do with LAMB.

Best not to kid yourselves, folks.[/quote]

PP, sorry your kid struggled at first in MoCo. I’m sure their school there is great.

Another data point - our kid went to OA through 8th then JR.  Graduated with 10 APs. Admitted to a highly selective LAC, where he currently has a 4.0. Unlike what many folks on this forum will post, our kid did a TON of writing at JR and is getting great feedback on his writing now in college (including being asked to turn one of his papers into an article for publication by a prof, and being offered a paid internship based largely on the strength of his writing).

I think many kids’ experiences are largely luck based on which teachers they have and which cohort they are in.

Congratulations on your son!  I am super happy when I hear a dc kid succeeding anywhere. [/quote]
