[quote=Anonymous]Hill dad here. I see BASIS getting off to a flying start. With a Chinatown location, and many Hill parents who aren't turned on by the 2 neighborhood MSchools (with kids in 3rd to 5th grade at Watkins, Brent, Maury, Tyler, Two Rivers) demand will be high. There's a big group of IBs Hill kids heading to ms and their older siblings at Latin spend too much time on the road. But I'm not feeling optistic about the long term prospects, partly based on Latin's lackluster performance past 8th. ANd middle class parents (like the parent looking at Wilson and Gonzaga) don't necessarily want teens trapped in classrooms/at desks as much as BASIS seems to. They want them out at museums, playing sports and music, going to fun summer camps and cultural events, seeking enrichment in a rich urban environment. [/quote]
