[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the bottom line if you have a high performing kid, it is Basis and DCI.

Average kid Latin

If your kid doesn’t get into the above, move to MD or VA.  I would pick VA for state school benefit for college.

No good options for middle school other than above EOTP.

Don’t waste your time on settling for a poor middle school only to have to settle for another poor high school or move in high school which is worst. [/quote]

And to be clear, we’re talking about your kid’s performance midway through 4th grade, right? 4th grade performance and lottery luck locks you in for the remaining 8 years until HS graduation?

I remember now why I quit reading these threads. [/quote]

Yep because in this town of such poor options, you lock in the good ones if you get it.  If it doesn’t work out you can always look at other options.

We are at DCI and so glad we were at a feeder and got into DCI.  We know a few high schoolers who got into Walls and declined.  These kids had options and opportunities - that is a luxury in this town if you are EOTP.

Lastly, we are all at a huge disadvantage with colleges where VA has the best choices of really good schools (UVA, William & Mary, etc..) saving you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I started looking at middle school feeder paths in prek.  Middle school comes up fast.  So glad I did.  We would have moved out of the city if middle school didn’t work out. [/quote]
