[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with no middle school spots after 5th most years, BUT I kind of wonder if there will be just a little bit of attrition at all schools, including Latin, next year considering the change in administration (to Biden, not school admin) and some people leaving DC once their company decides they can mostly work from home indefinitely (meaning people no longer trying to minimize commute time may move further out).[/quote] Right or wrong, they don't want to admit after 6th because it would be tough for some kids to catch up, particularly in the sciences. What BASIS students cover in Chem and Bio and Physics (they take all 3 every year of MS) really doesn't align to anything in other schools. Some kids could catch up, others will not but that's the rationale behind their enrollment strategy. It does cost them $ each year since they can't really backfill students who leave after 6th or 7th. [/quote]
