I don't know what they did last year, but I hope they continue to do it if kids want to come because they only take 5th and 6th graders and being there in 5th grade is a real advantage.......


Someone left BASIS for Latin after count day? Impossible for last year. Even those in single digit waiting list could not get in.


I think that child actually left BASIS for Latin right before count day.

Two Rivers has taken kids after count day. I know of at least two instances in the last few years.

If you are implying that this is what happened at Yu Ying, you are wrong. They are sticklers and if the principal let someone in disregarding the waitlist (which the principal would not do), EVERYONE will know and no end to the complaints.

Families move usually due to job changes and Yu Ying lets kids in midyear bc they can't take new students after 2nd grade.

Excellent question about aftercare. I hadn't considered that.

Depends on the school. If it's a privately-provided aftercare then you may be fine. If it's a DCPS-run aftercare (at the highest poverty DCPS), then you may not get a spot.
