[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing how quickly a simple question about BASIS becomes an opportunity for the trollers! I think there will be more wait list movement for 5th grade, though there are definitely more siblings who got preference over prior years. It is still a relatively new school and last year's wait list issues for 6th grade likely reflected those growing pains. As someone with a 6th grader at the school and a son thankfully matched for 5th next year, I hope you get in![/quote] one of PPs here -- not trolling, but genuinely wondering why the scarcity argument has currency. We have an upper ES child in a non-Deal DCPS feeder and right now we consider BASIS somewhat of a fallback option. DC can handle BASIS rigor but we're on the fence on the pedagogical model. There's plenty to both like (advanced academics and high achievement bar) and question (over-emphasis on testing). We have yet to decide but will certainly consider in time along with other options.[/quote]
