[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that Basis offered 90 5th grade spots this year and last year they offered 170! That says to me the school might be low-balling because of space but once they get a handle on whose coming back in the older grades they'll likely tap the 5th grade waitlist pretty hard. [/quote] The BASIS directory has 96 current 8th graders. So if half leave for SWW, Banneker, Wilson, private, etc -- that would theoretically open about 40-45 seats for 5th and/or 6th. I don't think they'd take more than that because the space is really, really cramped. [/quote] Tacky to say, I know, but it's reality...I'm sure it also comes down to the budget and what they need. Each additional student is worth an allocation in the budget. [/quote] Agree. They are in process of refinancing their loan on the building (actually may be done now) which is going to bring down overhead costs significantly. [/quote]
