[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG OP, we couldn't ALL get into Latin like your DC! And for whatever anyone says about the obnoxious BASIS booster and basher parents, I'm up.to.here with the smugness of the Latin families. Please, please write more about balancing the whole child.

Whether or not we stay at BASIS through high school, I cannot wait to compare where the first graduating seniors will be accepted in comparison to Latin. [/quote]

Latin has graduated three classes already, and some people on this board decried what they viewed as on the whole shoddy college admissions, completely failing to realize that many of those kids decided where to go based on financial aid packages or merit awards.  The first kids who graduate from BASIS DC will have started in 8th grade, so they hardly got the benefit of the BASIS middle school experience and their high school experience will be unlike subsequent graduating classes........... and economically many of them are in the same position as the Latin kids, so tread carefully.[/quote]

BASIS graduating class will be very small compared to Latin graduating class.
They started with 87 8th graders, were 46 at the end of the year, 30 9th graders, 25 10th graders and this year's 11th grade will probably be less than 20.
Latin does not get rid of students the way BASIS does.
