[quote=Anonymous]My kid is at Cooper. Overall, very happy with the school, but it's a good fit for my kid, specifically. Some downsides: temporary building is far from ideal (but my kid kind of takes pride in surviving it), no math differentiation until 7th grade and no support to improve chances of differentiating into the higher level math (so we're doing it on our own). Science education has been somewhat mediocre (but I'm not paying very close attention). Fifth grade geography and sixth grade civics have been AMAZING. Teachers have been mostly wonderful, kid is engaged, learning new things, good field trips even in this post-COVID era (some schools have not been able to do that).

Posters here are right, we're not Type A parents, and our kid isn't academically advanced.

Thoughts on the commute: Some kids are more energetic than others, a long commute can wear some down, others are full of energy. Think about how the school commute might fit into the after-school activities.

For those choosing between DCI and Latin, it's really about which school will fit your kid best. If your kid needs personal attention, see if you can get a spot at Latin. If your kid thrives at a larger school, which will have more people, more activities, etc., then it may work best for them. [/quote]
