[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the current MS/HS is the same, why would kids who come in the lower grades want to continue to the Basis MS/HS? Like if they start great music/arts programs in the lower level, it would just stop at the upper level?[/quote] Serious question? Many UMC families EotP are not only desperate for a good MS/HS, they're desperate for a good ES because so many in-boundary schools remain iffy or lousy, particularly in the upper grades. Moreover, lottery spots for the most popular charter elementary schools, e.g. Inspired Teaching, YuYing, can be hard to come by. Why would BASIS bother to start a great music/arts program in their K-4th school? In the DCPS universe, PTAs largely finance great music/arts programs. The BASIS franchise doesn't permit PTAs. They permit parent "Booster Clubs" that raise money for admins to hand off to top up teachers' salaries.[/quote]
