[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  So, enroll your child if you think this model works for your child and if you find that it does not, leave when you are ready, if that day comes. For many children who leave it is not because they could not do the work, they chose not to follow the Basis path. There are many pathways to academic excellence and Basis is simply one of many (although in DC you may need to move or go private to find them).[/quote]

Finally a voice of reason![/quote]

All this would be grand if scores of Capitol Hill families weren't banking on BASIS working out for middle school and high school to stay in the neighborhood.  There aren't many pathways to academic excellence on the Hill, aren't any at all that don't involve paying through the nose.  BASIS has become one of two de facto middle schools for half the Hill (the other is Latin of course) yet, under the scenario you predict, only around a quarter of the fifth graders will make it to the end.  Realtors will love the uptick in inventory fueled by departing Maury and Brent families.
