[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids at DCI who get into the top universities would be getting into those schools regardless of their high school. I would attribute it more to the student and their personality/determination/academic excellence than DCI’s instruction.

DCI is a mediocre school, but for DC purposes, it is unfortunately one of the better public options.[/quote]

This can be said for Latin, Basis or J-R.[/quote]

This is exactly what I’m trying to figure out. Is there a real standout school among these or these 4 are about the same and you pick what’s best for you based on the distinct offerings at each. [/quote]

The reason for the snark from the early posters is that there are many other threads asking this (or very similar) questions and there is not a clear cut answer (in large part because while some people do have experience in more than one of these schools, most people don't).  So you get plenty of second-hand information, which is then filtered through the lens of this board.  It's a difficult situation because certain choices foreclose the possibility of the other options in the future (i.e., if you choose DCI now you could move to Deal/JR later, but if you choose Deal now, you won't be able to switch back to DCI later).  Also, there is enough differences in these schools (and in where they are located) that "good" for one family may not equal "good" for another.  You've actually gotten some decently useful information here, but there really isn't anything that a poster can point to that can solve this problem for you (and certainly nothing that hasn't been rehashed several times already).[/quote]

This is re-hashed ad nauseum every week. There's snark and sarcasm because this is an anonymous message board--that will not change. [/quote]
