[b]Parents in Wards 1,2 and 3 should definitely attend one of BASIS meetings.[/b]

Please be aware that there is going to be another round of DCPS schools closings for next year.

Even in Ward 2 and 3 schools, not every parent can afford private schooling.  Next year, Deal will be extremely overcrowded. Hardy has problems (less than 8% of  actual neighborhood kids attend it, and it's practically serving the out of boundary students who are already attending the area feeder schools).

There is a dire need of a good public middle school where all students (not only the brightest ones who do everything on their own) will be challenged  to reach their maximum potential instead of falling 2 years below grade level by grade 8 due to whatever, especially schools who talk the talk but do next to nothing in the name of innovative methodology.

Actually, it's parents in Wards 5, 7, and 8 that should attend a meeting.  Is the school doing the appropriate outreach?  I didn't see a meeting scheduled in Ward 5.  Wards 1, 2, and 3 have choices: Latin, Deal, and Hardy.  If this school is serious about its mission, it needs to look for the kids in Ward 5 (and 7 and 8).[/quote]
