[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the Basis franchise is highly strategic and is most likely targeting that particular area. Basis likes areas with relatively high-income/education levels where there is a perception that the neighborhood public schools are “bad.” The immediate area in NoMa is high-density residential. It is close to both Capitol Hill and Shaw. [/quote] This. The BASIS model depends on having majority high-income kids, because it doesn't perform well enough with low-income kids.[/quote] I was thinking this too. They want to populate the ES with Cap Hill kids. [/quote] It’s a decent strategy if they don’t want their middle/high school to crash and burn. Unfortunately I’m not sure how many Cap Hill parents are going to opt for a BASIS model. Cap Hill parents tend to want no homework crunchy granola elementary schools and rigorous middle high schools.
