[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]

The answer is Latin Cooper.  A whole bunch of 4th graders from our DCPS on Capitol Hill who didn't get into BASIS or the original Latin wound up there for 5th grade, although this is Latin Cooper's first year.  The Latin Cooper 2022 waiting list was short, almost everybody willing to give it a try for 5th grade got it.  This fall, there will be lots more spots for 5th and 6th grade, and new spots for 7th.  The current building in warehouse isn't too hot, but the school will move to the Kirov Ballet site in two years.
