[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so ridiculous

Anyone with a half brain knows you ultimately either live in Wilson district, send your kid to a private, or get the heck out of DC if you have kids

All these defenders of DCPS are crazy one-offs concerned more with class size, some weird new curicculum, or people who lucked out the charter system and haven't hit middle or high school yet[/quote]

What is wrong with the charter school options for middle and high school?  I have friends with kids at both Latin and BASIS and they seem very happy.    And I've heard good things about DCI.  No one I know is getting the heck out of DC.  I live on Capitol hill.  If we wanted to leave it would be a snap to sell and make a huge profit on the sale, but we aren't interested.  I think my kids are getting a far better education that I did as a kid in rural Oregon.[/quote]

I'm sure Latin, DCI, and Basis are great, but you have to win an increasingly difficult lottery to get in.  [/quote]

+1.

But keep in mind DCI is only finishing its second year. Has promise but not yet proven, and an unknown entity for college placements etc. Last year's PARCC scores were pretty low compared to the others, but will be worth watching over time.

Latin is most established and by all measures strong. For college placements Basis DC can rely on its network's strong reputation. Both have test scores.
