[quote=Anonymous]Things just aren't that rosy. Many of the UMC families in the DCI feeders continue to peel off for BASIS, Latin, privates, the burbs and schools outside the DC area. This happens in the Deal feeders, at Deal and JR, but not to nearly the same extent. DCI just doesn't knock it out of the park academically. The middle school still doesn't track for any core subject but math. Your kid winds up taking 8th grade ELA, science and social studies with many kids who work years behind grade level. Teacher turnover is too high, with some of the best educators bailing for much better paid jobs with DCPS and in the burbs. The DCI high school still doesn't offer a wide range of Diploma classes, particularly at the higher level and in the sciences, and there seems to be almost no momentum to change that.[/quote]
