[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...and Deal beats all Charters, not all other charters.[/quote]

Deal didn't score "a lot better" than Basis.  Deal came in only a few points higher on reading and was actually one point lower than Basis on math.  But consider also that Deal has a very different demographic - mostly Ward 3 high-SES white, and they manage to keep out a huge number of FARMS students.  Basis on the other hand has a much more diverse student body drawing from all across the city, with twice the percentage of FARMS students, to the point of qualifying as Title I.  Deal also has more resources and funding per student than Basis.  Yet Basis, as promised, still did quite well - I wouldn't at all be surprised if their scores surpass Deal's next year.  Also, unlike most DCPS schools, Basis does not spend anywhere near as much time working on DC-CAS test prep.  Their philosophy is to have a strong curriculum in the first place, rather than teaching to the test the way DCPS does.[/quote]
