[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child likes language and is dong well. Math has been a challenge and ELA good. Cooper is much closer to us and we are attracted to the small class size at Cooper but since this all came as a big surprise (moving up the WL) so fast we do t know that much about the school. We are a little concerned about the size of DCI and that it would like depending on how to place your child might only have one language class. Of course the guarantee of getting into MS/HS is attractive.[/quote]

With this update, I’d definitely take Cooper. I wouldn’t risk a bad lottery draw with uncertain preference odds when you have a closer, smaller, and likely to be academically stronger option right now. [/quote]

This. OP just doesn't seem very enthused about DCI. And, if it isn't Spanish, I wouldn't totally rule out non-feeder DCI for 6th.

I have a kid at Yu Ying and parents seem really nervous about there being enough seats for Chinese. Is that a valid concern? I would dismiss it but it’s a lot of parents.[/quote]

I don't know, but it shouldn't be that hard to figure out.  You can pull DCI's charter from the charter board website and it will tell you how many seats are set aside for Yu Ying (70? 75? I'm not sure, but around there).  Then take a look at your kids' (kid's) class and figure out how many kids are there (multiplied by classrooms across grades).

My guess - everyone who has spent at least a year at Yu Ying already is fine.  From what I've heard - they are planning to expand, but it won't really take off until the Kirov campus is done.  But I haven't actually been paying attention to the enrollment numbers, so it's possible that they've already started increasing enrollment in the earlier grades.  My guess is that the information is all public, I just haven't spent the time to look.  But if you're worried, you definitely could.[/quote]
DCI charter is a good shout, thanks. From the yearly intake data, to me at least it looks like if you want a seat out of YY you get it (note, I have some assumptions here about overlapping sets and set sizes). They- YY- are expanding quite a bit this year, up to 700. My intuition is that the demand isn’t there and many will drop out or gently be pushed out, which has been pretty standard the years we’ve been there. [/quote]
