[quote=Anonymous]My child is starting 6th at DCI this year. I'm going in with low expectations. For now we want to stay in the city and I think a city education does offer something that you can't get in the 'burbs. (Feel free to disagree.) We picked DCI over the inbound school for a number of reasons. I'm definitely taking a try it and see approach. Maybe the commute will be untenable, maybe the academics won't be great (but my kid wasn't challenged in elementary school either, and we stayed, so...), maybe it'll be awful socially, I have no idea. We haven't ruled out moving, either. But I am always hearing from friends in the 'burbs about their gripes with their county's education system, too. I'm glad to hear that DCI kids can get a shot at Walls. But also, I don't think all UMC parents are aiming at elite universities. We're not. It's a rat race, especially for those of us who are not running in the right circles. [/quote]
