[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don’t get a good sense of the Latins and we are on page 4. What are the pros and cons of the school? How are the academics? [/quote]

I love this question and hope some current families can weigh in. Comparing to DCI, in terms of just test scores and growth, they look very similar. I can think of pros and cons for my kids (Spanish vs. not; small class size vs. not) but don't understand enough about what each school offers or how they work. [/quote]

You should talk to current parents. Our son has been very happy at Latin 2nd since he started in 5th a number of years ago. Im frankly not motivated to list pros/cons for strangers on an anonymous forum. Ill expend that energy with inquiring friends etc. [/quote]

I am always a fan of people talking to current parents and realize this forum is not the best place for actual productive conversation. However, not everybody knows people at the school yet, so it is sometimes a helpful starting point to find information. As a 9-year parent at our DCPS school. I have a elevator pitch that I bring out for people that are new to the area or don't know anything about a school. It's not hard and I think it goes a long way as a first step. Anyway, just seems strange to come on this forum that you are already spending time to read and then make a point of saying you aren't going to answer any question about the school.[/quote]
