[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're in 5th, not pulling out but quietly applying to privates for 6th.  Our Hill ES didn't work for 5th because none of our kid's pals were staying.  We're concerned that most of the high SES families will go sooner or later, as at Latin (although we keep this to ourselves).  I get the feeling that a good many high SES parents are biding their time while saving for privates.  We're fine with what's happening now, but skeptical about the HS situation, so seems best to go before we open the door to a socially turbulent situation for our child.  Another family will surely appreciate our spot next year; good luck to them.

Can other BASIS 5th and 6th grade parents confirm this? Are many BASIS families really preparing to pull their children out after a year or two (but keeping it to themselves)?[/quote]

Our DC is enjoying BASIS and learning more than ever, even after a year at Latin.  Barring any seismic shifts, we plan to stay for another 6 years, even if DC's class shrinks to one or two dozen over the years.[/quote]
