[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The percentages indicate that a slight lower than average master number will probably get into Basis and for 6th grade last summer could get into Hardy.  If you are a 4th grade family, it could be a good idea to assume you are relatively unlikely to get into Latin and spend some time this year specifically thinking about whether Basis makes sense for your child.  If you are a 5th grade family, its not a bad idea to weigh your inbound against other options that are a longer commute from you.[/quote]

Sorry but McArthur is not an option so forget Hardy.  It’s much easier to get into now because the feeder is doing so poorly. Plus commute is horrendous to WOTP.

If you are not thinking about high school feeder when ranking your middle school, that is a big mistake.

The best middle schools EOTP are the desirable charters which also gives you a high school path (DCI, Basis, Latin).  Sure it’s competitive and odds are not great but there is still a chance.  That should be your play and then you have a guarantee path.  You can always deviate from that path in high school, it’s not fixed, but it is liberating to not have to deal with the lottery again in high school if things work out.[/quote]

Hardy is definitely an option and MacArthur is doing just fine. You post on any thread you can find on how horrendous MacArthur is. It’s tiresome and not based on any fact whatsoever. I have an 8th grader at Hardy and we are planning on MacArthur and are very excited for it. As are other families we know.

We turned down a spot at BASIS for 5th to remain at our Hardy feeder and are very glad we did. Hardy has been fantastic. [/quote]

+1. I have an 8th grader at Hardy as well and we are planning on MacArthur. Every kid we know there now likes it. [/quote]

MacArthur is such a new school, it's ridiculous to make sweeping generalizations saying it is "not an option." My child is at a Hardy feeder and we're excited for the pathway, as are many families we know.[/quote]

Title I?[/quote]

Title 1 and only about 1 out of 10 kids on grade level in math and 1 out of 3 in ELA.

New or not, the academic data is there.  [/quote]
