[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in the Cluster and I would choose Stuart Hobson. LT buy-in seems real. I have heard of more Maury parents choosing elsewhere which isn't good for EH. I would also prefer the SH location in terms of safety. [/quote] I don’t know anyone at Maury who lotteried for the Latins or BASIS, matched, and is choosing EH. [/quote] Right, I assume if you lottery for a school and match, you would go bc you lotteried there. Our family didn't lottery, and others we know didn't lottery so we ended up at our feeder DCPS middle school. And I am not naive and know that some of the other families at their IB MS did try lottery but didn't get in, but I always assumed if somebody tried lottery and matched, the odds are they'd go wherever they felt was the right fit that they tried lotterying for.[/quote] I know multiple LT students who lotteried into BASIS and turned it down over the last few years, including 1 who is doing so this year and 1 still deciding. Latin? No. But BASIS? Definitely folks lottery, match and then decide it's not for them. One kid came back mid-year two years ago and she is now a happy 7th grader at SH.[/quote] Stuart-Hobson "took back" at least 4, maybe five, BASIS students this year. +1. BASIS is a unique school, and many kids don't fit it. As a BASIS parent, I'm really happy when parents realize that their kid doesn't fit the model and turn down the spot, so that kids who really do fit it but are stuck on the waitlist can take the spot.
