[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 think it's fine for everyone older than preschool and K this year, and not enough seats for kids in preschool and K this year.

I will point out that DCI has made a lot of Chinese non-feeder offers for 6th. [/quote]

I checked and I think DCI’s total number of Chinese offers (70ish across YY- 48 this year, 52 last year- and the lottery- 8 on match day and 31 by June) would cover all of YY’s pre-k 3 offers the last two years (71). The question is if only 17 odd kids are going from YY to DCI, or whatever else is going on with that. [/quote]
