[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not the person you're responding to but don't care for your snarky post. Your flippancy glosses over a real problem that's plain to any parents who looks.

Plenty of feeder students still bail for BASIS and the Latins after 4th grade, yeah. Parents see stronger academics than those at DCI and leave. It's easy to have language immersion regrets when the immersion stops at age 10 with no partial immersion to follow.

Maybe that's changing as DCI improves. Hope so. [/quote]

NP.  Latin scores are similar to DCI and I would argue DCI is stronger at the high school level because of the tracking and IB diploma.  DCI offers more advance math in addition to language.

We are at a feeder in 5th and I know multiple families who got into Latin and Basis who passed it up.  True multiple. Also a family who got into Walls for high school from DCI who passed it up.  Anecdotal but in my circle it’s a high percentage.

Lastly, also not many families leaving DCI overall once in.  Their retention rate is very high mid 90%.  Compare to Basis who loses 1/2 their kids after middle school.  You can’t dispute data [/quote]
