[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is always an exodus of kids from
basis to Deal in 6th grade.  My daughter met two friends at Deal who had come from Basis after 5th.  [/quote]

Exodus is not the word you’re looking for unless Deal is again taking OOB students.

These are students inboundary for Deal who did Basis for a year.

I expect a lot of movement next year.  I live in a JKLM neighborhood and know a number of families who put their kids in Basis this year for 5th because of Covid (they thought there would be a higher likelihood of Basis being in-person 
so they took spots off the waitlist in the summer when they came up).  They intend to move their kids to Deal next year.

Many JKLM families play the Deal and Basis lotteries just because they can.  They usually take the Latin spots and turn down Basis but this year many took Basis. 
I would expect next year's Basis 6th grade to be very small. [/quote]

Two city-wide charter schools drawing from all 8 wards and this board thinks they both revolve around the JKLM crowd.  Never change DCUM.[/quote]

I know, right! BASIS 6th grade is going to be tiny because JKLM parents will move their kids to Deal! There are dozens of them! Scores! [/quote]

And this JKLM-based, 5th grade Basis parent has no interest in Deal next year. [/quote]
