[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Falls apart?  I agree Latin has things to work on-but our HS kid is happy with it just the way it is, and so are we b/cause we support our child and can see that satisfaction daily.  I would say Latin is swimming in the opposite direction of modernity "Things fall apart, the center cannot hold..."
It's holding.[/quote]

If it's truly holding why is the middle school nearly half white/high-SES and the high school fifteen percent at most?  I don't ask this as an outsider, I ask as a parent who left for DC1 after 8th, concerned that too many of the weaker students (both high and low SES) were the ones staying for HS.

We're at a parochial HS now, not sure if we'll go with Latin for DC2 in the fall.  The lack of middle school honors classes has been a sore point for us, and others.  Nobody wants to talk about it.  Kids who can barely read lottery and teachers have to focus on enabling them to test proficient on the DC-CAS, period.  That's all that's really wrong with the school, no honors classes  other than algebra.

Not sure about BASIS, no direct experience but didn't like the cave-like conditions I saw at the open house.
