[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Untrue. This post was humming along with input from a variety of posters until a booster took a shot at squelching critical commentary.

I'm getting to grips with the reality that if our kid doesn't get into Walls shortly, we need to think seriously about moving for the first time in 20 years. [b]Our kid wants out of BASIS[/b] and we're not getting the fi aid we need to swing a better school. Good luck with your planning, OP.[/quote]

Your kid and mine are peers PP.  And if yours has an interview at Walls, s/he is obviously doing well at BASIS (to meet grade cut off).  Why does s/he want to leave?  My kid is actually pretty happy at BASIS and likely to stay for HS next year (though also interviewing at Walls to keep options open).[/quote] She's v independent-minded and language study oriented. We looked at DCI but didn't see tough enough academics outside language. She wants to take an AP language in 9th or 10th grade, then college level language classes at GW.  She didn't want to study a third language at the beginning level as BASIS pushed her to do in 8th grade (leaving her unchallenged in language in 8th, annoying us all). She also wants to row crew with classmates at Walls and to stretch AP work through senior year. Her best buddies seem more interested in Walls than staying. Many reasons. [/quote]
