[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not concerned about the middle school situation at BASIS.  But, like other parents, I am concerned about HS.  If the HS isn't majority AA in 7 or 8 years, and the curriculum and standards aren't watered down compared to the Arizona schools, I'll be surprised.  The city plays so many political games with demographics as it is, e.g. refusing to allow honors classes at Deal and Stuart Hobson outside math for fear that white and Asian students will fill them,  it's tough to believe that BASIS will be all that different.  BASIS Parents saying "I'm staying the course through 12th, really" sounds a lot like Hill parents pledging to "stick with this DCPS school until 5th" before they quietly run off to a charter or private much earlier.[b]  Liberal whites may stay, but the sort of Asian families who fill MoCo STEM HS programs?[/b]  Come on!

Learn the demographics of the city. Considering there are very few Asians living in DC proper, liberal whites will suffice. [/quote]
