[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, the odd strong student gets into a top school, particularly if they're URM.  DCI just isn't a powerhouse school sending lots of grads to elite colleges, not yet anyway.[/quote]

Why don’t you tell me what public/charter high school that takes all kids regardless of SES (not test in/magnet and not by high SES neighborhood) that only just graduated it’s 3rd or 4th class sends lots of grads to elite colleges.  You realize the high school is pretty new.

I heard they got a few Ivy admits last year and this year.  That is impressive especially since it was not a big class.

Sorry, do you think any socioeconomically diverse public school gets mediocre students into top schools?  Do you think Latin guarantees top 20 for all?  Then you are delusional.  IN any case, the strongest kids at DCI (Let's say top 20%) are doing really well at the "top schools" (let's say top 25 schools).  Isn't that really the best any school could expect?  In fact, DCI does a great job with its strong students.  It may not seem that way to the new MS parent, who is out of touch with current trends in public education (discouraging tracking, among other), but DCI does a great job preparing these kids for college success.  If you are underwhelmed as a MS parent,  wait till your child gets to HS and try  telling them they are not being pushed.  I am sure they will disagree!  [/quote]
