[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if you are describing E.L. Haynes or Yu Ying but Latin and BASIS have figured out ways to meet needs of all classes. [/quote]

Not exactly.  We've been disappointed to watch at least 2/3 of DC's high-SES peers at Latin hit the road somewhere between 6th and 9th.  I'd be really surprised if BASIS avoids the same sort of attrition.  One of BASIS' problems in DC will be that suburban schools upper-middle-class families can take advantage of by moving not only have equally high standards for advanced learners but offer gymns, playing fields, auditoriums/stages, greenhouses, pools etc.  BASIS offers good teaching and organization, and tae kwan do on the Navy Memorial...

Latin is building now on more than five acres. Library, gym, and modern finishes are in store. The future of Tier 1 DC charter schools rests in actual school buildings and on green playing fields. BASIS has a nice building and expansion plans. Both schools can do fine holding onto students and parents of all classes who want a classical education or the BASIS program if they make the right choices in the months and years ahead. Instructional quality is the most important thing of all. Get the best teachers, hold onto students, and the rest is easy once in nice facilities with dedicated outdoor spaces.
