[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't oppose BASIS expanding, but I do oppose it expanding at that location. They should locate somewhere where there aren't already a wide variety of options for ES. This location will hurt Capitol Hill schools the most.[/quote]

I think it will hurt JOW the most, but also all of the other Hill ES that are good schools. Not BASIS's or PCSB's problem. If DCPS wants to offer rigor in MS and HS and end eliminate social promotion then we can talk about how this is duplicative of DCPS. Till that happens, what BASIS offers is not remotely similar.

The other thing the Hill parents seem to to understand is that CH is easily accessible from all over the city, including those underserved communities that you all pretend to care so much about. Metro bus and rail lines converge there.  [/quote]

Actually too much school density is the PCSB’s problem. This location is within 1/2 a mile of at least JOW, L-T, 2R, CHML and Wheatley. That’s absurd and should not be allowed.[/quote]

And about a mile to Miner, Maury, Langley, Harmony, Walker-Jones, KIPP Grow, Friendship Armstrong, and MV P.  About two miles gets you ITS, Lee, Thomson, Seaton, Cleveland, and Garrison, DC Prep Edgewood, Hope Tolson, and KIPP Webb. Precisely how many elementary schools does this area need?[/quote]

Again, it is NOT targeting this area. [/quote]
