[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An international advanced-language IB-for-all school is a great idea in concept but unfortunately in reality DCI offers only a so-so education.

1) IB scores are well below the global average, putting DCI are in the bottom half of the world.  There are numerous schools in developing countries that have a higher IB average.

2) If you look at PARCC scores, DCI doesn't seem very impressive.  In fact, most 9th graders at DCI are [i]below grade level[/i] in math and English.  This is [i]after[/i] they have been at DCI for a few years, so you can't blame the feeders.

DCI proficiency (9th grade):

Math 21.37
ELA 44.59

If you compare DCI to another 100% lottery charter school, say BASIS DC, the numbers at DCI look pretty bad.

BASIS DC proficiency (9th grade)

Math 77.36
ELA 90.38

I spend a lot of time on DCUM defending the BASIS-Haterade, but even I realize it is unfair to cherry pick the best scores in the city as a comparator. What do DCI's scores look like measured against other 9th grades?[/quote]
