[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I know is that if you have any inkling of having your child attend Basis and they are currently 5th through 8th grade then I would send them now. I know of at least 2 new admitted students this week from what I understand. I was also told not to wait till next school year since it will be much more difficult to get in next school year.[/quote] That's called marketing boo-boo. Remember how if you didn't yank your child out of their elementary school and get them enrolled for the summer session you would be stuck with the horrors of your inboundary school? The Basis model is developmentally inappropriate for 5th graders and relies on anxious DC parents to fill the gap. [/quote] Latin does the same thing. Doesn't every charter MS in DC doing this? Don't they all start in 5th grade (assuming they don't start in K or 1st) and thus put parents who wait to switch until 6th grade in the position of having to enter a lottery for only a handful of spots? Is there a charter MS that starts in the 6th grade in DC? [/quote]
