[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will be interesting to see how Basis ranks in the future on the Advanced list.

They'll have to recruit REALLY hard to get advanced students from the feeders/lower grades on this list to take a leap of faith on Basis. The school claims you don't need to be advanced or gifted to succeed at Basis.  I hope it works, but I'd rather see tax money going to growing seats at these schools and intensive help for a handful of high-potential schools.

It just seems like there are unrealistic expectations from those craving "rigorous" schools [i]and [/i]well-prepared, high performing classmates.  Apparently there is unmet demand for advanced programs in places like Palisades, Upper NW, Brookland, Shaw, etc.

OK, but would these families drive their "advanced" students to Anacostia if that's the only space Basis could get?  Be honest.[/quote]

What makes any of us think that BASIS will buy anything less than the best real estate in the District? [/quote]

I'd like BASIS DC to land in Chinatown with some creative outdoor play space options.[/quote]
