[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got into BASIS, are high on the waitlist for Latin Cooper Campus, and lower for Latin's main campus. We could also stay at our DCPCS and get into DCI for 6th grade. How do people make these choices?![/quote]

We were in the same position last year and went with BASIS. We were very much on the fence about DCI which is why we entered the lottery in the first place, but it was still a hard decision because there is no guarantee of getting back into DCI if we changed our minds. As between BASIS and the Latins, we liked the curriculum at BASIS a bit more and the commute is much better for us. I also liked the fact that BASIS provides a lot of support for the 5th graders--how to be organized and manage your time, how to study, how to take tests. The kids have a lot of independence and accountability. There are things I don't necessarily like, and we are only in our first year there so we'll see how things go, but my child really likes their classes and the other students. [/quote]
