[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just catching up — would the new elementary school definitely have feeder rights to the junior high/high school?[/quote]

Yes.  They said their initial plan is 80 feeder seats per grade. [/quote]

It would be great for Hill MSs and upper elementary if BASIS MS started at 6th grade, and if the number of seats available at MS goes down. If Latin started at 6th it would be even better![/quote]

There is no talk of changing the entry year to 6th.  BASIS believes they need to get kids earlier because nobody else can prepare kids for BASIS.

You are correct that this will make it very difficult for Hill families to lottery into BASIS if they want to stay at their elementary school through 4th. [/quote]

It is almost as if BASIS isn't focused only on Capitol Hill. The nerve!!!![/quote]

CH has been BASIS DC's bread and butter from the get go. More 4th graders from our CH DCPS ES school leave for BASIS than 5th graders leave for DCPS middle schools. Posters aren't wrong in predicting that a K-4th expansion would most impact CH families, and that political support won't necessarily be there for BASIS to pull the expansion off. The DCPCSB is indeed buffeted by political headwinds. [/quote]
