[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t about the feeders. What feeder you came from is irrelevant once you get to DCI, save for your language track.

DCI does track math, and language by ability. Like every other charter there is no tracking for English and Science. That should be abundantly clear to anyone enrolling. If you don’t like it, then choose something else.

Cue ‘but we were promised,’ ‘it’s so hard EOTP.’

The ‘guarantee of DCI’ everyone mentions really only means you have a seat. You can’t assume it is going to work for your kid. People should choose their elementary schools and do ANOTHER deep and serious evaluation of all options starting when their kids are rising 4th graders. [/quote]

English should be tracked, wtf. Also I hated every. Single. Non-tracked class I had to sit through when I was in middle and high school, except like art or music or psych. I can’t imagine putting my kids through that. I am currently unconvinced on DCI and a bit disapppinted as my understanding is that IB is super rigorous.[/quote]
