[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some other takeaways:

•	[b]43% of people listing Basis in the lottery ranked it first
[/b]
•	At full capacity, Basis will admit 100 for K, 112 for 1st-4th, and 135 for 5th.  That means that they will add kids for 1st and 5th but not in 2nd through 4th.  Assuming some attrition (which would presumably be lower for families for young kids as opposed to families with older kids), figure maybe 15-25 available slots for 1st and and 30-40 available slots for 5th grade.  That means it will be a lot harder for families to get into Basis if they wait until after K.  In fact, many of the slots will go to families with sibling or high-risk preference.

•	Mandarin will be mandatory for all kids from K to 3.

•	Basis’ preferred new location for the school would be Dupont Circle (which would be convenient for north-central DC) and Penn Quarter (convenient for Capitol Hill).  However, they haven’t identified specific sites yet.  Note that many Basis schools in urban areas have 2 campuses--one for lower school and one for middle/upper school.
