[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI bit off a lot when they opened, especially at the high school level.

To get their charter they put forward a plan to meet the needs of both college-bound students AND non-college bound students. In contrast, right or wrong, Latin and BASIS are only focused on college admissions for all.

"IB for all" means implementing both the IB career program and the IB diploma program. There are few other high schools in the US who are offering the career program, and certainly no other brand new charter schools doing it.

They are also struggling with teacher retention. Some of the teachers whose contracts were not renewed needed to go; others are leaving for greener pastures elsewhere.

While many of us think of DCI as new, this is its 6th year of operations. For comparison, this is BASIS' 7th year (opened with 5th-8th); and DCI's 6th.

What do you think makes the "greener pastures" greener? (no sarcasm, legitimately curious as a feeder parent)[/quote]
