[quote=Anonymous]Those posting on this thread seem to think in terms of access to BASIS like it was 2 or 3 years ago, not in 2023 terms. As things stand, this year, around half the Hill 4th graders whose names went into the BASIS hat won't have been admitted by the start of SY 2023-2024. If your 6th grader winds up at SH (in-boundary) vs. distant charter, like DCI, or a not-so-great charter, like Two Rivers, staying close to home for DCPS MS may not be a bad option.

We've gone with SH for 6th and 7th and aren't sorry we have. Our commute to SH is 3 mins by bike. Our SH student does enrichment work on-line or with tutors four afternoons a week to prep for admission to a parochial HS (we couldn't afford both parochial MS and HS for 2). My kids' friends from our DCPS ES who attend DCI commute by public transportation for 2 hours a day. My kid will do algebra II and geometry in 8th grade at SH. I wish that sci and social studies were taught in honors classes at SH, but it's hardly the end of the world that they aren't.  My kid has good teachers, reads a lot, does academic summer camps. We must have spent 6-7K on enrichment in the past school year for my SH student, much cheaper than private school.

We've made a commitment to stay on the Hill, where my spouse and I have lived since the 90s, so we're making SH work.
