[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, but the quoted poster was talking about a comparison that is apples to oranges.  I don't think Basis will ever have a varsity sports team.  But robotics as a for-credit class in middle school is pretty darn unusual in public school and makes up for a lot of missing amenities.[/quote]

Yes, robotics is certainly unusual for a DC public middle school but standard fare at independents and in suburban schools in affluent areas.

I don't get the impression that PPs are concerned about the Basis MS.   It's the HS situation that worries people in a city with only a handful of high schools attracting  upper-middle-class families, all in NW with very little room to spare.  How many kids will leave Basis before the AP level?   Why will none be replaced if all goes to plan, with a tiny HS resulting, when suitable replacements could test in?  Why no varsity sports planned for HS?   Will we see the sort of dramatic white flight (more than half) Latin experiences between 8th and 9th?   These are good questions, albeit awkward ones, and I, for one, are glad they're being asked.  [/quote]
