[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mostly unhelpful.  Some thoughts:

1) I wonder why Latin distinguishes between LS and US but BASIS does not.

2) Any comparison between Walls and BASIS is misleading because Walls is selective and only high school, and Basis is 100% lottery and includes both LS and US.  Still, test results indicate that Walls is pretty bad at teaching math and really bad at teaching science.

3) Surprisingly, the withdrawal rate for BASIS (both LS and US) was only slightly higher than Latin US.  This includes leaving the school mid-year or not re-enrolling.  I would have assumed that this would be a lot higher for BASIS.

4) Latin US has really low scores in English, math, and science. I am not really sure why Latin is so oversubscribed in the lottery.

If you can put up with the downsides, the BASIS academics are clearly superior.  It's unclear to me whether the overall experience at Walls or Latin is worth the drop in academic rigor.  With BASIS trying harder to make a better school community, I suspect it's not worth it. [/quote]
