[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that Basis offered 90 5th grade spots this year and last year they offered 170! That says to me the school might be low-balling because of space but once they get a handle on whose coming back in the older grades they'll likely tap the 5th grade waitlist pretty hard. [/quote] The BASIS directory has 96 current 8th graders. So if half leave for SWW, Banneker, Wilson, private, etc -- that would theoretically open about 40-45 seats for 5th and/or 6th. I don't think they'd take more than that because the space is really, really cramped. [/quote] Where is the information about having only 90 spots for 5th graders this year? Also, does anyone know what the attrition rate from 8th to 9th grade has been for previous years? Is it possible that BASIS did not even assume a conservative attrition rate when calculating the number of initial seats made available for 5th grade?[/quote]
