[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't understand how a school can be one of the best options when it hasn't even had one graduating class yet. Not saying DCI doesn't have potential, but comparing to SWS or even Wilson is premature at this point.  DCI has a lot of growing to do.[/quote]

That kind of thinking is not encouraged at DCI feeder schools!

More seriously, there is a KoolAid thing going on that steps from the fact that people in teh feeder schools have a lot of faith in the school leaders. People are grateful to have a promising option and maybe, someday, DCI will life up to the "best in the city" moniker, whatever that means.

Personally I think they're trying to do too much with the resources a charter school in DC has and kids with vastly disparate academic and social backgrounds. The population now is pretty high need, in terms of economically disadvantaged and special needs. They are required to incorporate new second language learners at 6th and 9th and offer tracks for IB career and diploma certifications in high school. It's significantly more complex than what BASIS or Latin or even SWW is trying to do.

Good luck to them. [/quote]
