[quote=Anonymous]The question above is a no-brainer. BASIS DC and Arizona HQ aren't standing in the way way of new students enrolling after 6th grade (generally half a dozen spots for younger sibs). In Arizona, new BASIS students can enter in any grade, but aren't necessarily allowed to advance to the grade above the one they just completed at a different school on arrival. No, they're given placement tests in each core subject and only permitted to enter at the grade level they've tested into per the BASIS curriculum. New BASIS students in AZ are commonly required to repeat one, or even two or three grades under this entry system. I know this because I have a nephew who had to repeat 7th grade when he started at a BASIS AZ school. DC politicians are the problem. For more than a decade now, DC pols, particularly the ed czar/mayor haven't been willing to countenance what amounts to a BASIS test-in system.[/quote]
