[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the bottom line if you have a high performing kid, it is Basis and DCI.

Average kid Latin

If your kid doesn’t get into the above, move to MD or VA.  I would pick VA for state school benefit for college.

No good options for middle school other than above EOTP.

Don’t waste your time on settling for a poor middle school only to have to settle for another poor high school or move in high school which is worst. [/quote]

[b]Totally disagree with this. High performing kids definitely fit in at Latin. ITDS definitely has high-performers -- maybe not as many as some other middle schools because it's small -- and a really good track record of 8th graders getting into Banneker and Walls.[/b] I'm sure some Hill parents have something to say as well.

+1. The smartest kids at our DCI feeder went to Basis and Latin. We also know some super high performing kids at ITDS. [/quote]

When was this?  Because from our feeder all the smart kids went to DCI

One family with average kid did go to Latin because he needed more hand holding and smaller class but they are planning on sending younger kid to DCI.[/quote]

NP, but I'm a parent at ITDS middle now and there are lots of smart kids. Honestly, the kids who leave ITDS for something with a high school tend to be the middling or lower students who don't feel great about their chances at selective high schools. [/quote]

Come on, that is BS.

ITDS is known to have high turnover in 4th and 5th.  These kids are leaving for Latin or Basis.  They get a bu call me if new kids coming in which is not good for stability.[/quote]
