[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on.  It's by no means easy to change high schools a year, two or three in.  DCI is OK enough for parents to hang in there for one, two, maybe three more years until the kid graduates.  Maybe you supplement more, pay for pricey tutors and summer programs to compensate for turbulence at the school. The ship has sailed for most DCI families in pursuing another option for high school, even if they're very unhappy with recent developments.   [/quote]

+1. Of course high school students stay. The big indicator is whether attrition increases from 8th to 9th grade. [/quote]

I doubt any significant attrition because high school is better than middle and now with more AP offerings available to 9th and 10th graders who then track to IB diploma.

We know a few kids who declined Walls and predict that will continue to be an upward trend. [/quote]

That's a continued trend with most places that have a viable high school path because Walls itself is spiraling downward. [/quote]

Believe it or not, but I know students this year who declined Walls to go to the Eastern EPIC/IB program![/quote]

I don't believe that.[/quote]

+1.

About 7% of Eastern High School has successfully passed even a single IB exam.

No one is turning down SWW to go to Eastern EPIC.[/quote]

This is just this anti-Walls poster that shows up on any thread that mentions Walls as a viable option.[/quote]
