[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the bottom line.

Of the 3 acceptable charters for middle school (Latin, DCI, and Basis), you really only have a shot at Basis.

The chances for DCI and Latin is like wining the powerball with sibling preferences.

End of story.

As to if Basis will be a good fit for your kid, that’s another story and risk you take.[/quote]

My kid (and their friends) have had good experiences at Center City, ITS and Sojourner Truth for middle school.[/quote]

ITS okay, but CC and SJ have incredibly low test scores (CC especially low in ELA, SJ better in ELA but especially low in math). And all three of these schools are teeny tiny, which means (1) not a lot of seats available, and (2) will be hard to find a cohort of high achieving kids when overall test scores are so low.

By middle school parents aren't merely looking for pleasant experience. They want to make sure their children will be prepared for HS academics with a pathway to college. This is alarmingly hard in DC. [/quote]
