Basis has a high school, but attrition by 9th is too high to count on that option as necessarily working for any individual incoming middle school student. I would personally pick Hardy over Basis every time if the commute is a similar distance.

Basis works fine for academically motivated kids.

Oh hey, there you went! The Basis booster who loves talking about how it works for "academically motivated" kids but can't bear to have that theory tested. What's in it for you that you need to keep banging this drum? Is it so important to your sense of self that your kid has continued to attend Basis?

DP. The data support PP.

Why so butt hurt?

Sorry but McArthur is not an option so forget Hardy. It’s much easier to get into now because the feeder is doing so poorly. Plus commute is horrendous to WOTP.

If you are not thinking about high school feeder when ranking your middle school, that is a big mistake.

The best middle schools EOTP are the desirable charters which also gives you a high school path (DCI, Basis, Latin). Sure it’s competitive and odds are not great but there is still a chance. That should be your play and then you have a guarantee path. You can always deviate from that path in high school, it’s not fixed, but it is liberating to not have to deal with the lottery again in high school if things work out.

Hardy is definitely an option and MacArthur is doing just fine. You post on any thread you can find on how horrendous MacArthur is. It’s tiresome and not based on any fact whatsoever. I have an 8th grader at Hardy and we are planning on MacArthur and are very excited for it. As are other families we know.

We turned down a spot at BASIS for 5th to remain at our Hardy feeder and are very glad we did. Hardy has been fantastic.

+1. I have an 8th grader at Hardy as well and we are planning on MacArthur. Every kid we know there now likes it.

MacArthur is such a new school, it's ridiculous to make sweeping generalizations saying it is "not an option." My child is at a Hardy feeder and we're excited for the pathway, as are many families we know.

Title I?

Title 1 and only about 1 out of 10 kids on grade level in math and 1 out of 3 in ELA.

New or not, the academic data is there.

Is there is a link to the dataset used for the tableau displays?

You are insufferable. The school hasn’t even had a graduating class yet.

Thanks! I tried that but the version that downloaded didn't have waitlist information.

It does, but the data at the top is from SY14-15, which doesn't have as much information. You just need to filter on lottery year.

Too bad if you don’t like data but many families are not going to do a horrendous commute across town for a school with such abysmal stats.

Yeah I saw these stats on MacArthur school profile page and was wondering about that. Could someone please explain - does it mean that not a single kid in MaCarthur takes Algebra 2 in the 9th grade, and so one?

We are doing the same and know MacArthur does exactly that. We are a Hardy family and have been on board from the start. It’s a new school! It’s not completely finished yet, but it is absolutely on the right track to be a gem for the community

PP does realize this. The question is for all of you. Trying to learn about a school does not involve trashing it every chance you get.
