[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check out the faculty profiles. Lots of PhD and MS folks. Also plenty of folks who have experience with the DC student population

[quote=Anonymous]Yes, but honestly it's not pulling in any new group of students that wasn't already applying to Deal OOB and Latin.  It's just thinning the same crowd at the top end, and trying to figure out with the lottery luckers on the bottom.[/quote]
To some degree I share your concern.  But my hope is that increased capacity of rigorous programs in DC public schools (charter/DCPS) will lead to more families choosing to stay in the District, creating a positive feedback loop that strengthens the entire system.  In my case, our family would have moved over this summer to MoCo, but we really want to stay in DC and so we will send one kid to BASIS and the others can stay at their DCPS school.  Who knows how it will turn out, we'll take it year-by-year.[/quote]
