[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a Washington Latin 8th grader.  Basis wasn't around when we were making our decision, and I am sure it is a fine school.  To address an earlier poster, at Latin there are a lot of young teachers, but there are also a lot of teachers who are on their second or third career.  I love my child's history, English and Math teachers this year.  One could probably be my child, one my contemporary and one my parent.  All are fabulous and bring to the classroom different perspectives.  I really feel that my child is challenged to learn and to think for himself.  We initially thought we would apply to Walls or private for HS, but we are staying for HS.  The high school program seems to offer more individualized attention and an interesting range of coursework.  In the weekly letter that comes home to parents, I find the administrators really think through every educational decision that is made (for prospective parents read the legendas -- they are on the website).  I feel that the teachers and administrators really want moral, ethical, thinking kids.   My biggest complaint about the school has been the facility.  We have been there four years.  Hopefully the new one will be improved.  [/quote]
