[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With it being increasingly difficult to get into Latin or BASIS, and with increased demand as more UMC families hit middle school, and with all the uncertainty around selective high school admissions, it seems like there would be a lot of interest in a new charter middle and/or high school whose value prop was differentiation/advanced classes. I know there's Latin Cooper. But are there not more attempts at this because they wouldn't get approved, or because it's very difficult to get the real estate, or something else? Thank you. [/quote] Very simple--DC probably has the highest percentage of kids in private schools in the country. Until privates become too cost prohibitive, I really don't think the middle and high school landscape will change. It's ingrained in the culture vs demanding something better. I don't think anywhere else in the country is like this. Pretty sad... [/quote]
