[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]FWIW, BASIS seems to have become a de-facto "feeder" for the better Capitol Hill schools like Brent and St. Peters - though it needs to be at 5th grade. I believe BASIS won't be accepting many if any at the higher grades.[/quote]

Considering it just opened, BASIS can't possibly be a de-facto feeder for anything. It's impossible to say whether it will be a good school.[/quote]

From what I've seen, that's already a done deal.  Like it or not, BASIS has already gotten the cream of the crop coming out of the Capitol Hill elementary schools.[/quote]

I know from Brent's 4th grade last year, a majority that left went to Basis.  There were only 3 that went to Latin.  Not sure how the numbers looked from other Hill schools.  Will Basis continually draw that many from future classes, I think it depends on how parents and kids feel about the experience at the end of the year.  It was a new shcool last year and a much better shot of getting in through the lottery than other schools since it was new.  If it does well, it will continue to be on the list of schools that people apply to, but it may not be as easy to get in.
