[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it sounds like you would like a school for kids who grind on homework, do well on tests, and are pretty softspoken or otherwise impress.

This sounds like BASIS to me. Maybe you’d like a DCPS like it?

I kind of get the impression that you’d like the cachet/social capital to flow to these students rather than the types now at SWW or Banneker, and perhaps to have the highest testing students make up their student bodies first, with students who impress on those other metrics taking the scraps.

Which would you prefer? Banneker/SWW as test-primary, pushing their current student profile out? BASIS for your accelerated kid? A new school? New for your kid or for the other?[/quote]

It doesn't matter to me what DCPS school this is, except the metro-accessibility piece. It's just about having this as an option in DC. And Walls was closer to being this prior to COVID than it is now, so just returning to what they did earlier would not be some kind of major historical departure.

BASIS is not allowed to do selective admissions, so it's even more of a lottery, although I'm glad it exists. But if DCPS were showing up in this area, BASIS would find it difficult to compete because of both the admissions issue and having fewer resources. [/quote]
