[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a question of what your options are for 6th-- like what are you willing to accept if you have a bad number. People leave BASIS in 6th just because they thought it was fine but like something else better. An good-not-great number gets you into BASIS but it takes a really good number for Latin and DCI. So their 6th grade pick might be what they preferred all along.[/quote] People should really not choose BASIS bc they lack better options. Those people (like people who would rather be at Latin) are almost always super unhappy and then leave. they should only do it if their kid actively wants that curriculum, and is interested in STEM. We made sure we gave our kid a shadow day there, told him all about the academics, and knew he could handle the workload and memorization necessary to succeed there. A much higher proportion of these kinds of kids stay. Everyone we know who ranked BASIS higher than Latin is still there.[/quote]
