[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from a feeder and went to the Latin main campus open house.  FWIW, the question was asked if Latin has many families coming from immersion charters (DCI feeders) and admin says no they don’t.

Thanks for this. I trimmed just to reduce text.

We actually know a few different LAMB families at Latin and they highly recommended it to us and I don't know any other feeder families that got an offier so that part isn't super telling to me.

We watched presentations from both schools and didn't get the blown away reaction you had but will visit in person, I hope, and will see.

I'm assuming you didn't even enter the lottery based on what you saw?[/quote]

PP here, correct.

As to your statement about not knowing any other feeder families that got offers, you need to realize there are many families like us who did not even play the lottery for Latin so getting an offer is a moot point.  You can’t get an offer if you don’t list it.

Lastly your anecdotal about knowing a few feeder families there does not prove many families from feeders go there.  I don’t know percentages but this question was asked directly to leadership at the open house by another family and their answer was no.

OK. To be clear, we are in a learning phase and not looking for arguments just thoughts! I appreciate yours. From what I can tell ... each school has real pros and some cons. I'm sure the cognitive dissonance will hit after we make a choice and need to feel ok about it![/quote]
