[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's the lame answer we get in DC from politicians for our hard-earned DC tax dollars. Don't like what may be your only viable middle school option, simply don't enroll your child. What would be wrong with BASIS being housed in an appealing building? What would be wrong with our crappy IB school offering rigor? What would be wrong with Deal not being packed to the gills? What would be wrong with Wash Latin able to take most applicants (vs. not even 20%).[/quote] BASIS owns that building. So it isn't going to change. In a school choice system, which is what our charter system is, you decide where to apply. If a building is a show-stopper, choose something else. Washington Latin is requesting to replicate, so it will offer another 90 seats in fall 2020. Although if by rigor you mean acceleration, you aren't going to find much of it there. I have no idea what to say about your crappy IB; we don't even have a MS where I live, just a crappy EC. But even families at the highest performing DCPS MSs aren't complaining about rigor. [/quote]
