[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of rave reviews for DCI on this thread. OP, I'd talk to parent who aren't staying for HS if you want to go in with your eyes open. We have close friends of many years among them. We've been hear very mixed reviews for years, particularly for strong STEM-oriented students (who failed to get off the BASIS wait list). You know that there's no academic tracking in the middle school outside math (one year acceleration, not more) and language, and minimal tracking in 9th and 10th grades. This means that strong English, social studies and science students are unlikely to be challenged before IB Diploma work in 11th and 12th grades.[/quote] My rising 8th grader was just offered a two-year acceleration option in math. We'll see how it works out in practice. [/quote] Good news. Please keep us posted on how it works out. [/quote]
