[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree with the analysis presented by 9:40.  We too have this dilemma.  We are hoping that Latin's new facility will lead to an increase in more academically advanced kids electing to stay through high school---we would certainly consider it, as we have loved the Latin middle school curriculum and community.    And such a high school option is definitely needed.  We can't afford private for high school and would really hate to move away from our close-knit neighborhood, but our IB high school option is completely unacceptable.[/quote]

New poster.  Sorry, you disagree with what?  That most white kids drop out of Latin before HS?  The on-line stats say that the MS is around 40% white while the HS is 10% white.  Is that inaccurate?  Changing quickly or what?

Even if Latin improves academically, what good will that do most Brent, Tyler and Maury families in the future when, apparently, the school took less than 20% of the kids without siblings putting their names in the hat for 5th grade this spring?  The numbers crunch grows bleaker with popular charters as the years pass, right?  At least with privates, families with very bright and disciplined kids can plan to enroll, if they have the dough or get good fi aid.
