[quote=Anonymous]You make good points but are painting the picture with too broad a brush. DC public schools do provide rigor, but not consistently, particularly in the system's comprehensive by-right middle schools, including Deal and Hardy. As things stand, at DCI, IBD for all waters down academics to the point that the most highly competitive colleges are essentially out of reach for DCI students who aren't both excellent students with impressive EC accomplishments and URMs. But there's a caveat. If high SES White and Asian families pay tens of thousands of dollars for enrichment, ECs and test prep over the years, they may be able to stay in the elite colleges game.[/quote]
