[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to talk to parents with older kids at MV (3rd grade and above). We left in 2nd grade and were glad we did. Our friends who stayed and now have kids at DCI are not thrilled with it and other friends whose kids graduated from DCI and went on to good colleges felt like their math background was lacking for college-level STEM classes.[/quote]

Well, we are a current upper grade family at Calle Ocho and love it. Teachers and staff are fantastic.  Even admin.  Everyone is so dedicated to the mission, school, but especially the kids.

My kid is doing great in all subjects.  He rocks in math and scores really high on standardized tests.

BTW, DCI is really advancing their math program.  They actually look at teacher recommendations and standardized test scores to place the kids appropriately.   They now have different levels of math classes and the highest is 2 years ahead.  I don’t know of any middle school that advance that far except Basis and WOTP schools. They said at the open house that they need to expand the advance math offerings because kids coming up their middle are stronger cohort.

We did not stay at MV for DCI.  We stayed because we think it’s a great school.  Sure coming back after Covid was rough and we have lost teachers.  No school is perfect and that happens everywhere.  But we have not played the lottery and looking forward to going to DCI which has had such an upward trajectory of improvement the past few years.  It will be such a game changer to not drive anywhere after school since so many clubs, sports, activities at the school too.[/quote]
