[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker and School Without Walls are the top high schools. Lots of DCPS elementary schools at the top of the ratings. For the charters, Latin, Friendship and Center City have campuses in the top.

The official OSSE site is here https://schoolreportcard.dc.gov/home. 
It may be easier to navigate the information on the EmpowerK12 site https://www.empowerk12.org/dc-accountability-scores-dashboard.

Looks like BASIS and Walls have the best numbers.  However, Basis is 100% lottery and Walls selects its students.[/quote]

Is BASIS really a lottery if they kick kids out who don’t pass their many tests? Walls can’t do that… [/quote]

Basis does not kick out kids, they just don't pass them unless they actually pass.  I haven't heard of anyone not passing in high school at Basis.  I have also not heard of Walls accepting any kids who aren't passing in middle school.[/quote]

lol.

Walls only accepts straight A kids.[/quote]

Yes but the cohort of kids are from mediocre schools. No I do not think a kid getting an A at dcps “honors” math is the same as a kid at basis, or the accelerated track at DCI. [/quote]

Except some of the kids at Walls get college credits, so what does it matter?

Also let’s be real, grades are not everything. I got mediocre grades but I make a great salary. My college was pretty good but not Ivy League. 
I’d rather my child get good grades sure but also learn actual life skills and get experience/try things they’d like to do.

Our kids are going to need a lot more than good grades and a college degree to have a decent living in today’s world.
