[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea if I want to send my kid to Basis or not (they're still in early elementary). But I'm genuinely asking...does anyone know why they're asking to start an elementary instead of a second middle/high school? I get that Basis wants to prepare students for its academic approach earlier than grade 5, but DC has a lot of strong elementary schools. There aren't nearly as many strong middle/high schools. Aren't there more than enough interested families to fill a second Basis middle/high? [/quote] because it costs less to educate younger kids but you can collect the high per-student fees from DC taxpayers. Seriously, it's not hard to beat DCPS' efficiency in spending money, so the shareholders get to keep the difference, and with the promise of getting kids set up for the middle high school, they can lure in rubes who might wonder why elementary school is so bare bones.
