[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious how all of these acceptances happen if the school has as many behavioral problems as folks post about? DCI’s reputation as being lax and not firm in their management is what concerns me about sending a child here.[/quote]

Let's think critically about this.  My daughter goes to DCI, and knows someone who was accepted to Yale.  So how truthful/widespread can the "many behavioral problems" be?  How "lax and not firm in their management" is the school?

People love to come on here and pile on about shit they don't understand.  Many children have received an education and are going on to college from a public school.  This should be celebrated.

People can continue to clutch their pearls about DCI's 'reputation', my kids are thriving there.[/quote]

+1 I am not sure why people here are always so negative about DCI and it’s feeders. Because they are charters? I don’t see the same issue for DCPS that are doing worst. [/quote]

I don’t have any kids at the school.

But I agree that people just love to put down a new school that they don’t understand, obviously have no kids at the school, and are in their bubble. Well everyone should be getting the IB diploma with scores of mid 30’s.  Don’t forget admission to the Ivys or it’s crap.

The school just graduated their 1st class last year - their 1st class mind you, who I’m sure a good number of students did not come from feeders.  Why would you try out a new school, an unknown quantity, when you have other options and the lottery?

In addition, 20% at risk with 40% not on grade level in ELA.  But sure everyone should be fluent in another language.

Don’t worry.  Latin, Basis was attacked as much when they started out.

What is ironic is that Wilson college acceptances have been really subpar this year while it sounds like DCI’s has been better.
