[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not 15:19 but another happy Latin parent for all the reasons stated in that post.  I find the hysteria over the scores to be overly dramatic.  Latin (and Basis, or any other charter) is a lottery.  All of the kids going to Deal are coming from solid elementaries.  More and more so at Hardy as well.  Not necessarily true at the charters-- u will get variation year to year.  Also layer on the fact that when Latin began it was in upper NW, WOTP.  Then it moved  to 16th and then it moved eastwards again to its current location.  My speculation is that for some parents at that time, Basis became more attractive-- due to location.  Wonder if you compare scores to students primary residences over 2006-2014, what it would show.   [/quote]

Whoa. All the kids going to Deal do NOT come from solid elementary schools. With a 30% OOB rate that is more students than the entire enrollment of the Latin middle school and more than are enrolled in 6-8 at BASIS. You (and I) have no idea how prepared those kids are, how long they may have been at a feeder and not all feeders are actually top schools.

Deal does Ana amazing job with all their students. That shouldn't be discounted. [/quote]

You do realize that 100% of the OOB population come from Janney, Lafayette, Murch, Hearst, Eaton (expired), Bancroft and Shepherd? All SOLID elementaries?[/quote]
