Except that, as has been frequently mentioned on this board, Basis and Rocketship do not have selective admissions.  How those programs will fare with kids who are unprepared for their rigor remains an open question.  [/quote]

I fully expect Basis to do well.  From what I can tell it is full of high SES kids from the Hill, whose parents are very involved.  (For the record, I am not sending my kid there -- we are already happy at Latin and are unwilling to take a chance on a new school).  That will get it far.  Even if that demographic makes up 50% of the student body, it will have a high chance of doing what it says it will do -- and of course, the school will take credit for stellar test scores.

I totally agree with what other posters have said -- the hill needs a single middle school (like Deal) that takes kids from Brent, Maury, Watkins, Tyler, etc.  It makes me angry that I have to send my kid across town to get a decent middle school education (and I will vote for anyone who will take on this issue -- Wells certainly has not).
