[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of fools in DCI feeders and DCI, if not total fools. Many feeder families gladly bail for Latin and BASIS, ending the pretense that they were taking the language learning seriously.[/quote]

LOL, not impressed by lackluster Latin and Basis sucks for anything but academics.

I’ll take DCI with a well rounded experience at a bigger school any day.  Also data doesn’t support your premise that many families are bailing at all, they are tracking to DCI.

Lastly, you are showing your ignorance but lots of families and kids who are serious about Spanish.

Hope a majority of DCI students can at least hit grade level for reading.  Math seems hopeless.[/quote]

COVID has affected everyone and if you look at DCI, they are doing better than the overwhelming majority of middle and high schools in the city.

Their scores are actually pretty close to Latin.  Basis self selects so not sure why people on here use them as a comparison.  Apples to oranges.[/quote]

I thought that BASIS DC was 100% lottery?

Also, with the feeder system, language requirement, etc. DCI can't fairly be considered 100% lottery.  So, DCI is even more "selective" than BASIS, whatever that means.

Thus, DCI's poor results seem even worse by comparison.[/quote]

Not the PP you were talking to but you apparently do NOT know much about DCI's feeders. They run the range in terms of what kids testing scores would be at 6th grade, with the biggest feeder (DC Bilingual) having the average lowest scores from what I saw the last year I saw a comparison of feeder schools 5th grade scores.  AND every year DCI admits lottery kids for 6th and 9th.  So the idea that a bigger school that has a variety of students feeding into it AND accepts lottery kids too is like BASIS which is ALL self-selection and smaller, is absurd.[/quote]

What?  Schools like Brent, Maury, Watkins, Ross, etc. are de facto feeders to Basis.  [/quote]
