[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If BASIS backfilled with the aim of attracting top DC STEM students who could ace their math and science curriculum wouldn’t they come out ahead? Every math whiz who might be a great fit for the BASIS HS wasn’t around for the 5th grade lottery, or didn’t enroll in the middle school. Widening the gene pool in search of talent tends to pay off.[/quote] But how would that actually work? It's an open lottery school, a fact that seems to escape a lot of posters. If they open the lottery to backfill upper grades, there's no way to backfill only with "top DC STEM students" and "widen the gene pool." You seem unaware of how the city-wide lottery works here in DC. This backfilling nonsense is a misplaced criticism.[/quote]
