[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a vanity project! Not filling a gap.

Someone in the Brent catchment decides to weigh in. The bolded is not true. BASIS isn't "Brent's" school, much as many of you seem to think. There are not nearly enough high quality ES school seats. What you mean to say here is that you like having a guaranteed seat at Brent and then having a path to BASIS in 5th. If people have to send their kids to JOW or a bunch of other W5, W7 and W8 ES that you wouldn't even drive by, that is a sacrifice they should be willing to make so you get to keep what you want.

After all these years reading DCUM I can still be surprised by the self-centered words of the entitled. Seriously, PP. re-read the bolded and consider whether people who don't live adjacent to your house think there are plenty of high quality ES seats. [/quote]

Not the poster you are responding to, but there actually are a ton of high quality elementary school seats in all of the wards surrounding where BASIS plans to locate this elementary school. There’s a reason they’re not going to plop this thing in Ward 8. BASIS is absolutely obsessed with their ranking and test scores, and they’re going to want to draw from Wards 1,2, 3, 5 and 6, which are the wards surrounding BASIS. Realistically those are the folks that can make it there given it’s location. Maybe the westernmost of Hill East/Ward 7, which also had solid elementary schools.

Are you IB for JOW? That’s a solid school too. Maybe you should take a hard look at your prejudices. [/quote]

LOL. You are a self centered jerk. [/quote]

Says the person who thinks they’re too good for JO Wilson. Ok.  :roll: [/quote]

I am not IB for JOW. And JOW is not good enough for me. Nor is Watkins. Have you seen their PARCC scores? These are not high quality options. [/quote]
