What is the best option depends on what your choices and priorities are. Latin and BASIS have stronger test scores than DCI but there are other factors to take into consideration.




They're both well over 2 years old. DCI is already catching up.

Have you heard of SWW and Banneker? DCI can only hope to be about 5th best...in a city with pretty weak high schools. Dream big!


Hardy has to be included in that list of options too.

But I think the PP was referring to schools that have MS+HS.

I live in Brightwood and hoping to lottery into the MS once our DC is of age. Not currently in a feeder because they are all out of the way except for LAMB and commute was important to us.

How would anyone really know? I know that there are a lot of boosters, for good reason, but where are the numbers to make this assertion? DCI does not have a track record yet. Does anyone know how many peeled off from the ninth grade this year?

Is construction being done in phases or will it all be completed before school begins next year? I know there is an addition being built for an auditorium.

If the middle school is any indication, I doubt it.





You don't doubt it, you're just throwing shade. Suggests jealousy.

A permanent home is a great step.
