[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the most likely correlate to application to BASIS is parental post-collegiate degrees. Also read that that they set aside 6 percent of their seats for at risk. This is creamskimming at its most obvious.[/quote] The kids in my neighborhood overwhelmingly do not go to the IB MS or HS, just like for most schools in DC. There's variety in terms of what parents are looking for, but what's shared across socioeconomic group is that DCPS is not meeting their kids' needs. If any given charter school didn't exist, it's not like those kids would be going to their zoned school. And the equity lottery this year is probably going to wind up taking every kid who applied for 5th grade. They were already down to two kids on their waitlist as of June. [/quote]
