[quote=Anonymous][size=18] [/size][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m not familiar with DCI, but am intimately acquainted with Stuart-Hobson since I work there. Like most middle schools, it has its challenges (hallway transitions can be noisy, DCPS mandates don’t always make sense) but it’s a solid school with a large cohort of high-performing kids and increasing buy-in from families who live in boundary.

Off the top of my head, I can think of dozens of girls at Stuart-Hobson who sound similar to your daughter, and they are having good experiences at the school.

There is always some massive loser who comes on here to state that math doesn’t matter.

If you are choosing between Stuart Hobson and DCI, you should evaluate whether their stem program meets your needs. If you plan on moving elsewhere you should be aware that the math offered at Stuart Hobson will put you in the absolute rock bottom remedial track outside of dcps. DCI offers multiple tracks and advancement levels. Just something to consider. [/quote]
