[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basis force feeds Shakespeare and Algebra 1 in 6th grade.  However, their college acceptances (at least from the DC campus) are pretty miserable outside of a few URM.  Which is striking given their advanced curriculum.  Apparently colleges aren't buying this.

You told a lie, an odious damned lie; Upon my soul, a lie, a wicked lie.

1.  No English class at Basis reads Shakespeare in 6th grade.  They do take Algebra and Geometry, though.

2.  College acceptances are Basis DC have been remarkable for a school that has only been around in a decade.  Last year, in a class of around 50 kids, they had kids (and not just URMs) accepted to every Ivy League school.  Feel free to post a list of other open-admission public/charter schools that had a similar proportion of their graduation class accepted to Ivies.  For example, the Basis DC Class of 2022 had 2 accepted to Yale this year, which is the same or better in overall numbers than B-CC, Blair, Montgomery, Whitman, Wootton, etc., all much bigger schools.

They do at BASIS Independent McLean.  I heard the curriculum was mostly the same at the BASIS charters, since they all sprang from the same roots.  But fine if not.

I know they do at BIM and have since it started.[/quote]
