[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same dumb person is posting over and over again and somehow still doesn’t understand that the number of enrolled kids from a particular IB school does not equal the number of families who were attracted to BASIS and would have gone if they had gotten in. Because it’s a lottery school, we will never know.

But also, WHO CARES???

It’s almost like they’re IB for Elliot Hine, didn’t get into BASIS, and are trying to justify their butthurt… [/quote]

We don’t have the application data. [b]But based on my numerous conversations with parents, those that affirmatively prefer Basis are few. [/b]Good for them. More prefer their IB if they feel confident in it, and as EH improves, more feel confident in it.  And this goes for other charters (TR etc). I do think more would pick Latin over EH mainly due to the HS still.  [/quote]

First of all, you’re either lying or people know you’re a wacky EH evangelist so they’re telling you what you want to hear. Second, my kids are at a school that feeds to EH and I can’t think of a single person who didn’t try to lottery into Latin/BASIS. We lost an entire class (of 2) to Latin and BASIS after 4th last year. Even the one mom who loudly talked about supporting neighborhood schools ended up sending her kid to BASIS. And she was IB for Stuart Hobson with the option to send to either SH or EH. [/quote]

Not lying at all. The numbers going from Maury (27 last year) and bigger 5th grade classes tell the story. Yes many will still do the lottery and take the spots, but there are people (raise hand!) who don’t even try for Basis. It’s changing. People want to send their kids to the school down the street if they can. [/quote]

(And of course my point was about all charters not just Basis. Unlike just a few years ago, EH is more appealing than ITS  or TR.)[/quote]

Is it?

Sincerely,
ITS parent.[/quote]

No dog in this fight, but I think the PP is overstating things. I think EH is on an upward trajectory, but ITS is way more of a sure thing still. 2R I think is different. I would no longer send my kids there after how much of a mess the last few years have been.[/quote]
