[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just like to say…

Walls is ranked #68 nationally and DCI is ranked #778

That’s a big difference.[/quote]

The 2 are not comparable.  Walls self selects and DCI doesn’t.

I would agree that DCI does a really good job with all the students, not just the higher performing ones.

It’s a good school with a very diverse student body.  Throw in a college like campus with great facilities, lots of extracurriculars and sports and it’s not hard to see why it has become so popular.  It’s the closest middle and high school EOTP similar to what you can get in the burbs. [/quote]

The academics at DCI are awful, especially compared to suburban schools. It’s not even close!

[b]And DCI is ranked fourth in DC which means only that’s it’s better than some really terrible DC schools.[/b] [/quote]

I hate to bring up another school that is endlessly debated on DCUM, but I'd like to take issue with this--by some standards, JR might be the best school in DC (e.g. it offers the most AP courses), but USN&WR ranks it well below DCI. I don't have an opinion as to whether USN&WR's rankings make sense, but DCI's rank does mean more than "better than some really terrible DC schools."[/quote]
