[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We toured Latin 4th St and DCI.  Latins facilities are old and subpar.  There is not much extracurriculars for the 5th and 6th graders and forget about sports.  You can’t really do sports till high school and not a lot.

My point is that 4th St was so lacking compared to DCI.  Cooper is likely much, much worst.[/quote]

Not true on the sports front there is a good out of MS sports - some start in 6 - all start in 7th

Also availability for clubs and theater as early as 5th

And it’s 2nd street - maybe you toured a different school??

I’m the PP.  Yes, it was Latin.  That was typo error.

I specifically asked the high school student who gave us the tour who has been thru it.  [b]No sports at all in 5th[/b], think 1 or 2 open in 6th, and even if sports are open in 7th, she said that many kids don’t get it.  Basically you don’t really do sports till high school and as I said not many options.   DCI has a ton more sports, open to middle school kids, and the school has sports director and end of year reception for all the sports teams so that should tell you something.

As to clubs, you are being misleading.  There are not many “clubs” at all in 5th, 6th.  Look at the schedule at DCI, you have at least 12 plus clubs minimum offered all the time to anyone.[/quote]

This is a challenge at Latin and BASIS. The 5th graders cannot compete against middles schools so the pickings are slim. I would suggest you compare the 5th grade offering to ES sports offerings in DC. I am no aware of robust elementary sports leagues. [/quote]
