[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know DCI 9th and 10th graders who work a couple years ahead in math and are in the most advanced language classes for their cohorts who weren't so much as offered interviews to Walls in 8th grade. They've stuck with DCI because their by-right high schools are disastrous, they've failed to lottery into the original Latin multiple times and their parents can't afford privates and don't want to move. As far as I know, they're not still at DCI because they were eager to stay. This is what happens in a city without full-fledged academic HS magnet schools like MoCo, NYC, Boston, San Fran, Chicago etc. [/quote]

We know families who are happy with DCI.  We know of a number of families who actually did have options and got into Walls and chose not to go.

If you know families whose kids did not make the cut, that’s too bad for the kids.

But let’s not pretend that these families don’t have options.  Yes they do but they prioritize staying in the city more than moving.  They think DCI is good enough not to move or else would.  They choose not to go to their IB school.  They choose not to lottery into any other school in the city.

Everyone has choices.  Let’s not pretend otherwise.
