[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would also like to know about Latin, Basis and DCI. Sorry to piggyback but I’m considering all options as well as DCPS. [/quote]

The best (and nearly only) way to get into DCI is through a feeder elementary school. There are a handful of true lottery kids, but it’s rare. [/quote]

It's not that rare right now. It will become more rare.

DCI's lottery seats are mostly going to kids from feeder schools. It is not reflected in the tableau site, but the feeder kids get first dibs at the lottery spots that are over and above the feeder school's allocated spots. [/quote]

But you can see on each feeder school's data in that database whether there were actually any feeder kids who didn't get a feeder spot.[/quote]

All feeder kids got spots at DCI for this year’s 6th grade even with the expansion of a few schools.

If feeder schools have open seats, then those seats will go to other feeder schools who don’t have enough seats before any non-feeder kids get considered.  So your best shot is thru feeder schools.

If not coming from feeder, you still have a chance but much less, and your best shot is french or mandarin. It doesn’t mean you should not list spanish track if that is your 1st choice but also list the other tracks if you are open to those languages.  [/quote]
