Congrats to the first graduating class at DCI! You guys have lead the way for those that follow in a new school and new program.
Congrats to DCI for making it happen for the kids above and offering the 1st continuous IB track from middle to high school among the public and charter schools in the city.

It's hard to know if kids are choosing schools that provide merit aid + the DC scholarship and could have gotten into more selective schools, or if these schools were matches. Either way, I think it's possible to get a great education at lots of different schools, know that going to the most expensive school you could have gotten into isn't always the right choice, and hope a lot of the kids graduate in a few years!
For a small class, I think above is really good.
There are even smaller charters with less of a reputation with similar results.

1 - who knows how many of the kids went through DCI for most of their eligible school years? (I assume this % is available somewhere?)
2 - the school has evolved a lot over the years and will continue to evolve.
The vast majority started at DCI in middle school. Only a few (less than 5) started in 9th grade.

Lots of community colleges... Really only the Trachtenberg scholar at GW (+2 other GW), two District Scholars at American (full rides), two to Morehouse, one to Spellman and one to Reed stand out in terms of elite schools/scholarships. There’s also 1 to Kent State on an athletic scholarship for XC.

These are real kids and the class is tiny. The info has been shared publicly by the school. Draw your own conclusions but please stop being gossipy and mean.

3- DC has systemic poverty and access issues and leading edge classes at charters aren't going to give you Sidwell admission results.

How'd it go? College Admissions? IB test scores?
