[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]141 5th graders to 58 11th graders?

For a public school?

Wow. [/quote]

I mean - they only have room in the building for 600.  If/when more 5th graders stay through high school, that will inevitably mean smaller entering/5th grade classes.  That would make a different subset (those that only want BASIS for a middle school option) very unhappy . . . can't please everyone![/quote]

Sure if more kids stay but the underlying issues are not going to change to do that ([b]facilities, narrow curriculum, EC, sports[/b]).

What might force more kids to stay is getting shut out of other middle schools, private schools, and parochial if families don’t want to move.

Same with high school is getting shut out of application schools, privates, etc..

That is what is happening [/quote]

The only legitimate thing on this list of facilities.

They have plenty of ECs and Sports (and add more every year).

Curriculum -- in middle school it's actually much broader than DCPS. As in the kids learn a lot more history, science, math and literature. More.

In high school it's a smaller curriculum, which is why some students choose to leave.

The building sucks.[/quote]

Luckily, most of DCUM lives in spacious homes with copious outdoor, green space. Otherwise, Basis would be intolerable. [/quote]
