[quote=Anonymous]Pros: academically not very challenging which allows lots of time for kids to be kids. The homework load is light, especially in the higher grades. The special ed services are now really good after they fixed some significant personnel and policy issues. We dropped Chinese tutors 2 years ago and the kids are doing the same as before (well, but not the top of the class).

Cons: Math instruction is inconsistent, but barely mediocre at best. Science has been hit or miss. US history and world geography is non-existent and must be supplemented at home. Several of the boys we know are leaving because they son't want to risk moving up to DCI with possibility of it being another girl-centered, woman-run school with no athletics. There used to be a great sense of community at the school, but the admin is cold and likes to keep the parents at arm's reach.

Disclosure: we would go for private for our oldest if we could afford it, but the youngest is happy. There are lots of happy, smart kids with happy, smart parents there. I enjoy their company.[/quote]
