[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An anecdote. We skipped DCI. My friend’s kid did not, and is dismayed that each year her child’s PARCC score has dropped, and the 9th grade practice PSAT score they just got back was not great. Friend jokes that DCI is making her kid dumber — btw the kid gets good grades. [/quote] So where did your kid end up? And I'll add that I have deep gratitude for those families that are in the leading edge grades of a school as your friend's family must be with a 9th grader. By its very nature, each year the school only gets stronger as it gets more settled. In looking at BASIS and Washington Latin, it seems like it takes 5-10 years and also is driven by having a permanent location. DCI has the permanent location and is approaching that timeframe. I really wish that somebody was clever enough to make a graphic of the stages of development of a new MS/HS charter into one that is highly sought after.[/quote]
