[quote=Anonymous]As a Latin parent, I have to say that this has also concerned me for a while.  I watched the scores drop and didn't quite understand why.  My DC continued to do well, her friends did well, and most of the students in our "circle" continued to improve and thrive.  It seems at one time they had a problem with retaining teachers. I think this has goten better now.  Also, we can't dismiss the fact that BASIS really did take a good chunk of the higher achieving MS student away from Latin.  Yes, Latin still had a waitlist and was still able to fill all of their seats, but the student pool were of lesser quality academically.  I think now Latin has to work harder to catch those students up and it has really proven to be a challenge.  Overall, Latin is still a great school and has been a perfect fit for our family, but I can see how a potential parent looking in would be concerned if they are only looking at DC CAS scores.  But luckily for the parents that are concerned, there are now other great options for your kids.  No need to beat up on Latin.  Just send your child somewhere else.[/quote]
