[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the email, 34% of all the applications BASIS receives are from at-risk students suggests that these families want to go to BASIS. Maybe Latin has a much lower percentage overall.[/quote]

Oddly it's about the same for middle school but a lot higher for high school at Latin. 19%.[/quote]

Might be the rich kids peeling off to private HS or Walls[/quote]

Yeah, I don't think that's odd at all. Latin is a great environment (contra BASIS), but it's academics aren't great. [b]Lots of UMC parents go there intending to move their kid to private or Walls or suburbia for 9th.[/b] It's actually part of the reason the Latin college admissions aren't as good as you think when you look at your kid's 5th grade Latin class; it's because the chunk that leaves pre-9th is decidedly not random.[/quote]

I mean, I knew that, I just didn't realize the change would be so large. 7.39% to 19%-- that's a lot.[/quote]

I don't know many families that leave Latin in 9th. There aren't a lot of new seats in 9th either (maybe 10?), so I'm not seeing the movement your post suggests. Is there evidence of this somewhere I'm not looking?
