[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the risk aversion of people who are lottering into these schools now, but please keep in mind that there are new options opening every day, including DCPS schools that are showing promise -- and perhaps even a test-in middle school in teh building that now houses Banneker. Latin is actively considering a replication, a Montessori middle school is close to a proposal to open that in all likelihood, have to accept students at 6th from outside any of the Montessori feeders (same as DCI does). Finally, Stokes and LAMB graduated students for several years before DCI was even open, and all those students landed somewhere (mine is one of them, and is now graduating from a charter high school and is accepted to several colleges with significant merit scholarships at all but one). I know that the number of students is larger now, but so are the better performing DCPS and charter options and I have no doubt that by the time your 3/4/5/6-year-olds are 10-11 there will be more. [/quote] +1. Thanks, PP. My kid is in PK3 at a DCI "feeder," and this is my mentality, too. I am hopeful. [/quote]
