[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, sorry, but I'm unimpressed with this year's results for DC public. My spouse and I, and our two siblings, were NMSS, in schools ranked in the bottom third in our respective states. We were bookworms who enjoyed doing math, certainly not geniuses. The PSAT just isn't very hard, at least not for kids who ready widely for pleasure, and pay attention in algebra, geometry and trig classes. Things were really looking up last year, when Walls had 5 NMSS. Disappointing to see that number back down to the norm, 1 or 2. BASIS is starting to keep stronger students for HS. This is partly because of the crappy way Walls has been treating the highest-performing BASIS 9th graders, making them repeat humanities classes they aced in MS. Sort it out, DCPS and DCPC.[/quote] The chancellor visited Basis last week - part of an effort to promote collaboration, not just competition. Maybe that issue was discussed. [/quote]
