[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know many families that are leaving. They’re leaving because the lottery gave them options. They chose Latin for its small class size, or basis for its rigor.  Or for some these schools were more conveniently located to their house than DCI.  Lamb can certainly improve upper elementary but I don’t think you can conclude that those who left did so because they disliked lamb.  For most it was a tough decision and if they would have had an option to defer until after 5th grade they likely would have. [/quote]

This describes us.  We are leaving, but absolutely would have stayed through 5th if we could have somehow deferred our spot for a year.  Since that is (understandably) not an option, we are leaving, but even so it was a hard decision.[/quote]

Why did you prefer your offer rather than DCI?[/quote]

Much smaller classes (both the individual classes, but also the full class year are noticeably smaller and both of these will (I think) really improve the middle school/high school experience for my child) and a significantly better commute.  Even so, we still almost turned down the offer (and accepted it in part because my child was on board with continuing spanish lessons outside of school time).

What do you think of upper el?[/quote]
