[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My multiple kids are at a dci feeder and dci. We are happy with dci. The only kids who chose Latin over dci were the kids who were already struggling with the admittedly weak academics at our feeder. The kids who still didn’t speak spanish after 8 years of immersion clearly were going to continue to struggle at dci. Latin is just a better fit for kids who aren’t super academically focused, not terribly motivated, and aren’t the kid of kids who will do well in IB math. Some kids need small class sizes and don’t need the added challenge of multiple languages. [/quote]

What a weirdly negative post. In my experience, and I know a lot of Latin kids, Basis kids, and DCI kids, the Latin families are by far the happiest and complain the least about their school. [/quote]

So much negativity! We are at Latin and our kid has been very happy there. But we also know folks at Deal and privates who are happy. We know a few people who tried Basis but only 1-2 are still there in 8th. Maybe this is good news that there are lots of decent options out there? [/quote]
