[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS is focused on meeting the lowest common denominator - which leaves the families pursuing better options in the cold. That's why they go to BASIS and Latin.[/quote] BASIS for MS sounds great. But the HS stories from Arizona (thank you, teacher) don't inspire confidence on the part of this parent of a bright, academically enthusiastic 3rd grader, and 2 younger kids. PPs lash out when an interviewer calls a few BASIS seniors dull. What else would most be after cramming for a dozen AP tests?? Friends at DC privates tell me that their schools expect top students to take "only" 6-8 AP tests, while pursuing all sorts of extra curriculars. I don't want my kids to keep switching schools to find a good public fit (we can't afford privates for 3). Our IB MS school is bad news and we can't be sure that DC1 will get a spot at either Latin OR BASIS for 5th. My eye won't stray far from NOVA and MOCO real estate.... [/quote]
