[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI just graduated what their 3rd class?  3 classes.  The high school has barely started and people on here complaining they don’t have their stuff together and are not as strong as some of the suburban programs.  No sh’t Sherlock Holmes.  These people have no perspective.  Why don’t you tell us how the other programs did after they graduated their 3rd class, not now when they have been around for 30, 40 years or whatever.

I’ve been watching the trajectory of the school.  They are on a rapid trajectory and getting better.  They already have kids getting into Ivy’s URM or not.  They already have kids scoring high in the 40. Sure some of these families might have supplemented or not but if you don’t have a solid IB program, you are not going to be scoring anywhere even in the mid 30’s.  Not only that, but the high school offers 3 tracks, not just IB diploma, and juggling to manage those tracks and offers variety of pathways for different kids.

Bottom line.  You want what the good suburban IB schools offer now, move to the burbs.  BTW, good luck getting your kid into some of those programs.  But if you have time like some of us do, watch the trajectory of the school in the next 3-5 years.  This is just the beginning and early infancy.

Huh?

BASIS DC has only graduated a few classes and has a much smaller senior class than DCI.  Yet it seems a lot stronger academically.[/quote]

JFC, it’s exhausting how Basis boosters want to hijack every thread.  What don’t you get about self selection?

Open the school for all kids, take all kids in every grade, increase your at risk 3 fold, increase your SPED 3 fold.  Then come back and talk to us.  [/quote]

Can we please stop with the virtue signaling? UMC posters to DCUM are concerned about THEIR kids' educations and THEIR college options. People like PP who make all kinds of noise about increasing at risk at other schools make me sick. It's a red herring/shiny object to distract from empirical evidence suggesting less good outcomes. You don't really care about all of those at risk kids.

P.S. At risk kids who don't have a foundation can't succeed at any rigorous school anymore than DC HS "graduates" who were socially promoted up can succeed at MIT, RIT or any tier one college.  [/quote]
