[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MV students excelling at DCI is wonderful.  But I'd argue that is in spite of MV, not because of it. Of the 8 students honored with the top GPAs at the middle school graduation, I know at least 4  had younger siblings who started at MV but left before 5th grade for better options.[/quote]

Younger siblings are not the ones graduating.  50% of the top 8 graduates in GPA are from MV.  There is 5 feeder schools and 1 school has 1/2 of the top 8 graduating. That tells me that it’s not in spite of MV at all. MV played a role in their success.  Statistically speaking it’s too high to be coincidental or incidental.  MV kids also test into the more advanced language courses when starting DCI compared to other feeders.

Lastly, I know a few families who had friends whose kid goes to MV and those friends pulled out their kids, because it was getting too hard in the upper grades with expectations especially in regards to Spanish.  The kids were struggling especially since MV teaches other subjects in spanish too.

That’s not to say other families don’t leave for other reasons but academics and Spanish expectations is definitely one of the reasons.

This is amazing. Do you know which feeders where the other 4?[/quote]

2 others were from LAMB - the other valedictorian and one salutatorian, and I know at least one of the other salutatorians was from YY.  [/quote]
