[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would a Latin compare to a suburban middle and high school cluster in let’s say a Rockville? Or heck any suburb anywhere in the US where you here the infamous “oh great schools there”

Is Latin good based on DC metrics or actual USA metrics?

Who else uses PARCC to compare? How’s their college graduation rate? Getting into college is one thing, finishing it is another.

Not an anti-Latin poster. Hope our kids get in there. But I think these are the questions the poster wants. [/quote]

I would list commute as a con - maybe kids make the best of it on a bus, but it is time spent not doing something else. Also, I have heard the second campus does not have its own extra curriculars/sports, making it harder to compete for spots, and kids have to travel between campuses to play/participate. Those aren't necessarily academic reasons but for families that are looking at the whole picture it is helpful.

And I am not saying there are not tons of pros, the families we know at Latin are very happy, I think it is a good option. This time of year, I also wish that all of the charters and public schools were on the same schedule. Having different spring breaks and days off is hard for families.
