Only 12 from Payne though, which is interesting...

S-H has decent buy-in from across its feeders, if still quite Watkins slanted (27 L-T, 29 JOW, 56 Watkins). That's definitely a foundation to grow from though.

Jefferson... all the people claiming Brent families were going there in any kind of numbers? Not even a little. Sub-10. Wow.[/quote]

Current Payne 3rd and 5th grade parent here - class of 2022 at Payne was only maybe 17 kids - not because of exodus to charters, just a small grade. In general, Payne is a smaller school - only two classes per grade (except for ECE w/ 3 classes per grade) Current 5th grade class is over 40 kids and a good number of us will be at EH next year. [/quote]

Maury 5th parent here. Your 5th is the same size as ours! So you think at least 30 will go? I’m actually getting a little excited. [/quote]

Ah, interesting the 5th grades are the same size. Last year I think we had one 4th grade student leave for a charter, I am not sure if that will continue to be the trend or if we will start seeing the 4th/5th drop at Payne that other schools see.  I don't know all of the parents well enough to ask them about next year, but so far I have only heard of one child who will not be at EH next year.
Either way, there is a lot of positive talk about the school, definitely more than a few years ago. And like somebody else said, I think part of that is due to the Principal and the strong community they seem to be building. In the past few weeks we have been at the school for their Basketball Fever feeder event and their production of Moana, and our kids really enjoyed them.[/quote]

LOL. I can name at least five students in our charter who left Maury after fourth grade.[/quote]

Oh, sorry, are you saying you're at Payne. If so, I take that back. :) [/quote]

More Maury families will start to stay through 5th and EH. Probably most will jump for Latin, but Basis is not broadly appealing, and at this point, most will chose EH over the other charters like TR, ITS. [/quote]

BASIS is not broadly appealing?  What are you talking about?  BASIS is basically a who's who of Capitol Hill elementary schools. [/quote]

I have no issue with Basis and am happy for families who like it. But no, it is not broadly appealing. Many parents don't want it and would much prefer a solid DCPS MS.  [/quote]

Well the data says otherwise, but ok…[/quote]

Ask yourself how many people with a good middle school option go to BASIS. The [u]biggest feeders are Watkins [/u](17 kids) and Brent (a whopping 10). [u]People with rights to Deal and Hardy and Stuart-Hobson, and feeders for DCI, don't choose BASIS [/u]in significant numbers. It's N<10 for CMI and TR despite really low performance middle schools. Is BASIS more appealing than Jefferson and EH? Sure, to some people. But from (for example) Maury's 4th grade class, <10 went to BASIS and 40 stuck with Maury, despite BASIS making offers to 65% of its applicants. Similar for Ludlow-Taylor. So call me unimpressed. But you're outclassing Jefferson and Cardozo, wowie wow wow![/quote]

Wow. Where to start. 
[list]Watkins is a SH feeder, so you've effectively undermined your entire premise all by yourself.[/list][list]For SY 21-22 (last available data) there are [u]more kids from the SH boundary enrolled at BASIS than any other MS in DC[/u][/list][list]There are more kids in the Deal and Hardy boundaries (respectively) at BASIS than from the following boundaries: Ida B. Wells Middle School
Hart Middle School
Kelly Miller Middle School
Sousa Middle School
Brookland Middle School
McKinley Middle School
[/list][list]After Eastern, there are more kids at BASIS from the JR boundary than from any other DC HS boundaries [/list]
Does your opinion change when you are faced with "data" and not your baseless and unfounded beliefs?[/quote]

Now control for sibling preference.[/quote]

I assume you are PPP who just had their ignorance put on full display and this was the best you could do? My reply using ACTUAL DATA was in response you your idiotic post (incorrectly) concluding that families from SH, Deal, Hardy and JR don't send their kids to BASIS. The data illustrates very much the opposite and makes you look every bit the fool you are. Sibling preference would in no way undermine how wrong you were. You believed that people from those schools don't send their kids to BASIS - you were wrong.

Why don't you go ahead and explain to us how sibling preference makes it any less so that kids from those school boundaries attend BASIS. We'll wait...

P.S. BASIS also enrolled kids from DCB, LAMB, MV and Yu Ying this year. So you were wrong on that part too.[/quote]

I never understand why BASIS fans get so angry. It's true that some families with SH, Deal, Hardy and JR rights do send their kids to BASIS. But not as many as I would expect, which shows that BASIS is appealing only to some of them. If you got a kid or two from a DCI feeder, yay, but the numbers are so tiny it doesn't mean much. I asserted that DCI feeder kids don't attend BASIS *in significant numbers*, and I believe that's what the data show. For example, at Yu Ying, n<10 went to BASIS and 52 stayed at Yu Ying. Is that really so impressive?[/quote]

I am annoyed not on behalf of BASIS, but because we live in a world where people like you just make sh*t up and don't have the decency to go away when called out on it. The poster said straight up that kids form Deal, Hardy and SH don't enroll at BASIS, only kids from poor MS. The data disproves it. Do you think you are cute introducing some BS concept of "not as many as I would have expected"? What does that mean? If you are the poster who just got exposed, it is by definition more than you expected. You were given the data.

Or are you denying having typed: "People with rights to Deal and Hardy and Stuart-Hobson, and feeders for DCI, don't choose BASIS in significant numbers"? Because they do, as a percentage of all kids enrolled. And since the school is pure lottery, if they didn't apply in higher numbers they would not be admitted in higher numbers.

Keep typing. You look dumber each time. [/quote]
