[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard that last year all the students that wanted to attend for 5th grade were eventually offered a spot.  There is a wait list for 5th grade this year, but it is moving.  I hope all are accommodated.  If not, BASIS seems like a great, perhaps even better, choice.[/quote]
We have several friends with children in fourth grade this year, and what we are seeing is that Latin has a long waiting list and it appears many kids will not clear the waiting list for 5th and 6th grades.  But the list is moving and so there is a good chance that many kids will get in.  I would guess that going forward Latin will not be able to accommodate everyone - at least for a few years.

Also, as a BASIS parent, I think that Latin is a great program and would not assert (as the PP did) that one program is superior to the other.  I think each family needs to consider their own situation and prioritize what is important to them.  I think both schools are strong and can be great experiences.  In our case the math program at BASIS and its emphasis on organization, plus its location, were deciding factors in choosing BASIS.  But Latin might be a good match for one of our other kids - we just need to see how things play out.  When we consider the dismay we felt a few years ago about the dearth of middle school options, and when we see great in Latin and BASIS today, we feel lucky.[/quote]
