[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Despite what this thread says, I know many middle or upper middle class families at DCI. I knew several who bailed maybe five years ago, but it seems like more are staying now. Congrats to the grads. They were pioneers! Best of luck to them.[/quote] Please, nobody's arguing that they're aren't white or upper middle class families at DCI. Nobody's arguing that more high SES families aren't staying w/every passing year. What worries me is that the strongest 4th grade students mostly peel off for BASIS or Latin for 5th grade. A year later, many more peel off for Deal, Hardy, private middle schools, the burbs. You can congratulate the grads over and over without changing this depressing reality. We've taken a hard look at DCI for our rising 6th grader and decided not to enroll. I'm just not not seeing the discipline, rigor, academic tracking, serious partial immersion language program (no native speakers in our track) I'm looking for. [/quote]
