[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on, it's not just one person on this thread who had their doubts about Latin's academics, extra-curriculars, college admissions and so forth.

We didn't put in for Latin in the 5th grade lottery after visiting pre-Covid and neither did some of our Capitol Hill parent friends with children in our oldest child's 5th grade cohort.  Extra-curricular options seemed very weak for the younger middle school student, and want our children studying a modern language in middle school, not Latin.   The school's emphasis was clearly on the high school experience.[/quote]
Um, okay, Capitol Hill parents. Tell me, are you all going to Jefferson? Applying to BASIS? Or private? ‘Cause this CH parent and ever other parent I know would be delighted to match with Latin, especially the main campus. [/quote]

I know lots of CH parents who rank BASIS over Latin. It’s not the norm, but it’s not unusual either. I know a couple who decided to stick with SH rather than lottery, but those are outliers for sure.[/quote]

We live on CH and didn't even bother to lottery for Latin; we just put down Basis.  If your kid is at all into academics, the choice is clear.[/quote]
