[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To 22:42, I am considering Hardy and other charters because I have concerns about the academics.  I am really surprised that DCI is compared to BASIS and Latin given their scores, high number of ESL and % FARMS.  Not sure how DCI can meet the needs of those students who are on grade level.  Maybe they can but the school is too new to have developed a solid track record of helping all kind of students. [/quote]

Ask the DCI leaders about high school. IB offers two paths - IB diploma and IB career. They plan on building out both and I recall Carmen saying at an open house that not all want to go to college, and they need to serve the non college bound too.

So they have a plan to engage kids with all kid a of skills, not just college bound. [/quote]

The full IB diploma is pretty rigorous. I think if they continue on the current path DCI will be great, not just acceptable.  It is our current plan to send our kids there. [/quote]

I don't disagree at all (although we didn't send our feeder student there for 6th this year).

I was only saying that they do seem to realize that they are serving a population with diverse needs and intend on having a high school that can serve many different kids. So those who are fretting about the proficiency PARCC scores and how it may affect their college bound child may (or may not) be glad to know that there will be some sort of tracking. Of course the devil is in the details and they don't have any high school aged students yet. [/quote]
