[quote=Anonymous]I'm a Basis parent who wishes it had had started in 6th so our kids could have finished up at their elementary. But the reasoning is that for kids who are behind, whether it's because of a struggling elementary, lack of family support, or some combination, starting at 5th gives them a year to do some catch up, and for kids who struggle with organization/executive functioning, it gives them a year to focus on that while the academics are less demanding than they get in later years. Basis is clearly not representative of the DC school population, with a very low share of at-risk kids compared to the overall population, but my guess is that it would be even lower if they started at 6th.
