Colleges know BASIS as an AP for all school which produces graduates who do not excel in tertiary education. |

Yes, and nonof its graduates will be accepted by any college or university

Huh? It's not fair to count from 8th grade, because presumably some middle school parents will have planned to choose a different high school all along. It looks like the class only lost *3* students from 9-11, which is pretty remarkable retention, in my opinion. |

Which is great IMO. But they also manage senior projects including helping with internships. |

Haven't heard yet of a list yet. At an event a month or two ago, one of the college counselors said there had been many acceptances, but also kids waiting to hear from other choices. Also, kids waiting to hear on scholarships/financial aid, etc., which is an important part of the picture and often dictates the final choice. The college counselor said they arranged for about 80 schools to come to BASIS DC for a visit, as a way to help out students who may not be able to travel to see a college in person, and to show students many different possibilities. We have a kid in the lower school, but are pretty happy with the school's commitment to the college counseling process for high school students. |

No list out yet. Today is the deadline for deposits at most colleges so it's a logical time to ask, but all the BASIS seniors are off campus this trimester at their internships and/or doing senior projects. Since they are off-campus there just isn't as much chatter about who got in where as you might expect, much less a t-shirt day. |

People. Basis curriculum is such that students complete all graduation requirements by 11th grade. They are done with high school then. Graduated. 12th grade is fashioned as a capstone year/project and is voluntary
See pp 17-18 http://basisschools.org/pdf/bsi_brochure_48pgs.pdf |

That's from 2014-15. Newer language here explains the upper school curriculum. More students are staying, in part because it's harder to get into college if you only attend high school for 3 years. http://www.basised.com/academics/curriculum/grades-8-12-curriculum/ "The accelerated curriculum allows BASIS Curriculum students the option of graduating after grade 11; however, most students choose to continue their studies in grade 12. The senior year at BASIS Curriculum Schools is a unique opportunity to do advanced work and students consistently report that the senior year has a profound impact on their post-secondary education and career plans. All seniors take an interactive College Counseling workshop. Qualified seniors may complete the AP Capstone program or take BASIS Capstone courses, which are comparable to 200 and 300 level college courses, for two trimesters. In the last trimester, these students may conduct an intensive, off-campus research project related to their academic or career goals." |

With all the advertising about their world class education that prepares all graduates for top universities, this would be their time to boast. It is their second graduating class but unlike LATIN, all of these students have been at BASIS for 6 consecutive years. |

It is their second graduating class but unlike LATIN, all of these students have been at BASIS for 6 consecutive years. Last year they boasted at / after the senior project event. It's a pretty impressive and celebratory event; the students who did projects 'revealed' where they are going during their presentations and the school disseminated a list via their newsletter afterward. No idea if they will do the same this year; the senior project event is on Saturday, May 26. |

That sounds typical for DC schools everywhere - DC transience. But in the by-right schools, those seats are then filled with kids moving into DC or OOB kids, so it doesn't reflect attrition. The test in and charter schools just leave the transient seats empty and don't add new students. |
