[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]All the feeders have their main entry yr at preK-3, preK-4 and only accept new students to replace students who leave until 2nd grade. If you look at the proposal, DCI estimates they will take around 20 new students total for grades 6-9 a year. This is based on the estimate that less than 2/3s of students from the feeders come to DCI. Probably an underestimate and either way, DCI will remain primarily a middle and high school for kids who entered the feeder schools as 3-4 yr olds.[/quote]

Time will tell whether the estimates are correct. Until then, it will be a "wait and see", with [u]great expectations[/u] of Washington DC - both the Capital & Capitol - being a lightening-rod for progress in "urban education."  (We all know that "urban" is code for "economically disadvantaged, and 'of color'".)

Everyone who believes that public education should educate ALL of our students to the highest degree to which the student aspires, must support this school.  Where else may a student of a "disadvantaged" background graduate high school, possibly fluent in Mandarin & Spanish (in addition to English)?  Better educated students = better educated workforce = better lifestyle in the competitive global market-place.   [/quote]
