[quote=Anonymous]So where is this test-in MS in Ward 7 then? It's a recommendation, not even a project in the planning stages yet. Good luck to the parents pushing for it. I looked around and saw a grand total of 5 PSAT National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists in all DC public in 2014, 3 at Walls, 2 at Wilson. There were two dozen suburban high schools with more (each). Accomplished students of all races and backgrounds are going to BASIS, but flocking? Not quite. BASIS has been advertising open spots in 5th and 6th grade, fully two weeks into the school year. Weak facilities must be part of the probelm - no gym, stage, library, grounds. There aren't in fact a huge number of PS students in this city who can handle the commute to BASIS, and/or the rigor. I would expect the same situation if BASIS were to open a Cap Hill branch. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that stakeholders lobby for them to do so, and see results within two or three years. [/quote]
