[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bully for you. No idea what your point is. Asian representation in DC public schools is around 1.5%. Not for this Asian family after elementary. When my kid did a shadow day at BASIS he couldn’t find an Asian admin or teacher. [/quote]

Not sure what your point is either.

DC is only 4.5% Asian overall and that probably includes a lot of childless young people.

BASIS DC is 7% Asian.

Fairfax County is 21% Asian and TJ is around 70% Asian.

Enjoy the burbs![/quote]

We're staying put, thanks, with a scholarship from a private. Enjoy BASIS.  That should work well as long as your kid isn't interested in pursuing advanced languages, competitive sports, music, drama, art, singing, scientific research, you name it with classmates. [/quote]

Actually, my kid at BASIS does all that.  [/quote]

Nonsense.  We were at BASIS so we know that advanced languages are not taught there, not one course past AP level. The facilities for the arts are hopeless, so there's no serious arts instruction. Competitive sports, not really. BASIS doesn't have the labs or money for independent scientific research, but a few kids do some senior year outside the school. BASIS just doesn't knock it out of the park for any extra-curriculars, not compared to DC privates or the top suburban programs. No way. [/quote]
