[quote=Anonymous]OK, sure, underwhelming. But what's the alternative if you don't want to move just for hs, don't get into Walls, or maybe Banneker or Latin, and can't afford private high. If you can afford private, what if your kid doesn't get into a private worth paying for? Like some other DCI parents we've known well since feeder days, we're hoping that our eldest gets into Walls or MacArthur in the fall. If he doesn't, oh well. We doubt it would be worth uprooting our family because DCI isn't spectacular. We also doubt that depleting our college savings and retirement funds for a private would work out. We supplement quite a bit and manage at DCI. We're not alone. Our eldest attends a private IB Diploma "language circle" with a Spanish teacher with a couple classmates on weekends. Sounds like some parents on all three advanced language tracks are supplementing similarly. Good for them. [/quote]
