[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it is necessary in DC where what's really needed are better middle and high options (especially east of the river). However, I don't see how it is a mistake for BASIS to propose. [b]Starting with elementary gives the best chance for success for a broader range of students.[/b][/quote] No. This would only be true if they were seeking to locate in a high poverty area. For elementary school, lottery preferences are overwhelming driven by location except for UMC kids, so BASIS' draw will be heavily UMC kids who parents can deal with schlepping their 5 year old across the city (since independent commuting is not a thing for the ES set) & kids who live near wherever they locate. By choosing to float a Capitol Hill adjacent location, they very much tipped their hand on who they're trying to attract.[/quote] This. It's on the red line FFS! [/quote]
