[quote=Anonymous]Reading the other BASIS thread, I think I'm confused. Unlike Walls and other application schools, admissions is based only on outcomes to the 5th grade lottery, right? I always assumed the rigor was just a reputational thing and most kids wouldn't apply if the idea of 90min-3hrs of homework was totally unappealing. But, do they actually weed out in ways beyond pressuring kids by making them feel unsupported? (Someone mentioned comps?) I have a pretty academically average -- and sometimes not very focused -- but very stem interested 4th grader in another charter school who wanted to consider the school but now am wondering if we skip it altogether?[/quote]
