Do parents choose Latin/BASIS over Deal/J-R?

Yeah, just as we thought. Hardly anybody in-boundary for Deal bothers with BASIS.

Interesting that Latin attracts quite a few in-boundary for Deal. That doesn't surprise me since Latin's classes are smaller than Deal's, its cohorts are much smaller, and its demographic are comparable.

There are only 250 kids in the entire HS. What % of them would you expect to attend?

And it's sooooo far from most Deal feeding families. Remarkable that there are any kids going there. The kids we do know from that zone seem to be doing well.

BASIS HS had 248 students in SY23-24 per enrollment audit. Of all students at BASIS HS:
40% IB for Eastern
13% IB for Dunbar
8% IB for Roosevelt
7% IB for MacArthur
5% IB for Jackson-Reed
4% IB for Anacostia
4% IB for Ballou

That's 5% of all students IB for Eastern at BASIS, 3% of all students IB for MacArthur at BASIS, 1% of all students IB for Dunbar at BASIS, and less than 1% at the other schools.

Latin HS had 356 students in SY23-24. Of all students at Latin HS:
28% IB for Eastern
24% IB for Roosevelt
12% IB for Dunbar
10% IB for Jackson-Reed
9% IB for Coolidge
5% IB for Anacostia
4% IB for Woodson
4% IB for MacArthur

That's 6% of all students IB for Eastern at Latin, 4% of all students IB for Roosevelt at Latin, 3% of all students IB for MacArthur at Latin, 2% of all students IB for Jackson-Reed at Latin, 2% of all students IB for Coolidge at Latin, 2% of all students IB for Dunbar at Latin, and less than 1% at the other schools.

Now do the middle school….how many Basis kids from each MS boundary area

The only people I know going to Latin but inbounds for basis have been middle of the road students who weren’t ever going to need top tier academics or rigorous classes.

I meant inbounds for deal/Jr. basis is a charter school people usually pick because they have an undesirable inbounds school.

What do you mean “inbounds for basis”?

[Anonymous]

The truth of the matter is that families in bound for Deal (WOTP) or DCI (EOTP) that pick Latin is because their kid needs smaller class sizes due to needing more handholding for various reasons - mediocre academic performing, poor executive functioning skills, IEP, shy/introverted and will get lost in bigger school, etc

Both Deal and DCI not only offers much more breadth, variety, and more offerings in academic programming not just for top performers but all students. They also offer better facilities, sports, clubs, etc…

It’s much harder and more competitive to be top of the heap at a bigger school with good cohort of top performers then smaller school with not as many. You also need to have better social and executive functioning skills at the bigger schools to navigate things.

What is going on. “Inbound for basis” is not a thing. “Inbound for DCI” is not a thing. Someone here seems very determined to be nasty about Latin, but that person is not familiar with DC schools.

The poster that said inbound for basis’ meant inbounds for Deal/JR if you read above. They corrected themselves.

I’m the poster that posted about Deal and DCI which are basically the equivalent middle schools on each side of town. Most people know what I mean and that is inbound for Deal and at a feeder for DCI.

BTW, I know families at Latin and they have stated the reasons I said above why they chose Latin. It’s no secret or anything. If you are from CH not in a feeder and don’t have options, this thread doesn’t pertain to you.

Weird DCI booster not understanding it’s not an IB school? Many Capitol Hill parents would and do “choose” Latin over DCI, but they’re typically not in direct competition because of differing entry years/the feeder situation for DCI. This whole post doesn’t make a ton of sense.

But lots of the feeders have tons of space, so it just isn’t true that the families choosing Latin were shut out of DCI; with their Latin lottery number alone, the definitely could have gotten into a DCI feeder. But also many of them are very easy to get into by K/1st if that’s what you want. Very few Capitol Hill families opt for DCI and those that do are (sensibly) the ones committed to immersion.

No crazy family is going to put their kid in a feeder with no language background. The kid would basically fail and lose a year of school.

Interesting to me that the percentage is so low in bounds for Dunbar, because Dunbar has a huge boundary.

Now do the middle school….how many Basis kids from each MS boundary area

BASIS 6-8 grade had 308 students in SY23-24 per enrollment audit. Of all students in BASIS 6-8 grade:
19% IB for Stuart-Hobson
17% IB for Jefferson
11% IB for MacFarland
10% IB for Eliot-Hine
6% IB for Hardy
6% IB for Deal
5% IB for McKinley
5% IB for Brookland
5% IB for Wells
4% IB for CHEC
4% IB for Sousa

There were also 22 students from Francis-Stevens and 44 students from Cardozo, but I can't determine from the data what proportion were in 6-8 grade.

That's 15% of all students IB for Stuart-Hobson at BASIS, 9% of all students IB for Jefferson at BASIS, 6% of all students IB for Eliot-Hine at BASIS, 5% of all students IB for Francis-Stevens at BASIS, 4% of all students IB for Hardy at BASIS, and 1-2% at the rest.


Latin 6-8 grade had 296 students in SY23-24 per enrollment audit. Of all students in Latin 6-8 grade:
17% IB for MacFarland

11% IB for Jefferson
10% IB for Eliot-Hine
9% IB for Wells
8% IB for Brookland
6% IB for McKinley
4% IB for Hardy
3% IB for CHEC

That's 9% of all students IB for Stuart-Hobson at Latin, 6% of all students IB for Jefferson at Latin, 6% of all students IB for Eliot-Hine at Latin, 3% of all students IB for MacFarland at Latin, 3% of all students IB for Deal at Latin, and 1-2% at the rest.
