[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] This year’s enrollment data (from the school directory) shows that Basis’ 6th grade currently has 128 students (down from ~135 5th graders last year). At least two of these kids repeatedly bragged to my daughter that they were failing most of their subjects. Neither were inbound for Deal. I don’t know anything about the other kids, but I seriously doubt they all went to Deal. I just don’t see where the term “exodus” comes from, given that 95% of all 5th graders stayed for 6th.[/quote] Several of them are repeating 5th grade. I'm guessing those two![/quote]
