[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the perspective of certain families it’s fine if Basis is a pit stop on way to privates, Walls, or Banneker:  It’s gets you past what could be a completely unviable middle school depending on your zoning. That’s 3-4 more years to assess a high school path, whether that means going private, trying for Walls/Banneker, or even staying at Basis (which does work for a critical mass of students).

This is much better than “striking out” out in the lottery and being forced into (almost) immediate life changes, like moving or applying to/and paying for private school starting in 6th grade. This is the sort of calculus facing most people.

There are more middle school options than there were before, so this idea that you completely strike out is also untrue. [/quote]

Subjectively speaking, which is all that matters at the family level, many families feel as if they’ve struck out if they don’t have access to Deal, the Latins, or Basis. It’s of course not objectively true that they have no options beyond those three. [/quote]
