[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the PP you’re conversing with it, yea, you aren’t stuck no matter what your situation is, at least if you don’t live in public housing. You could always rent in the burbs for a fine public schools while renting out your DC place. Why complain about a BASIS, a program you’ve chosen to stick with? We made a different choice. Zero sympathy for the clueless who stay in DCPS EotP thinking they will lottery in somewhere good for 6th. Lottery stats just aren’t hard to access. [/quote]

You seem so kind hearted.[/quote]

PP's lack of sympathy is irrelevant. The inconvenient truth is that DCPS and DCPCS post up to date info on lottery results online year round. Ignore the info at your peril if you're relying on DC public middle schools to educate your children and aren't in-boundary for Deal, Hardy or maybe Stuart Hobson (none of which are all that great).  Also unwise to ignore the reality that BASIS doesn't want academic stragglers or rebels and doesn't cater to families unwilling to seek out serious ECs elsewhere.  You're simply not going to find high-powered sports, music, art, theater etc. at BASIS. The current senior class began as a cohort of 133 in 5th grade.  There are 42 survivors. If you don't want your kid forced to cram four years of HS work into three with a strong emphasis on scoring high on AP science and math, don't stick around BASIS for HS.[/quote]
