[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The academics just aren't better across the board at BASIS than Walls and Banneker. [b] For STEM yes, not for humanities[/b]. It's rare for BASIS students to take advantage of dual enrollment options at GW. Not uncommon at Walls, particularly for foreign language. As has been pointed out, Banneker has better/more experienced humanities teachers in the upper echelons. Few BASIS teachers have taught there for more than about 5 years and the better ones have a way of running of to DCPS and suburban school systems in search of better pay and working conditions. BASIS burns them out.[/quote] I dunno - 9th grade English at Walls consists of tons of grammar (things BASIS kids did in grades 5-7) and zero reading/writing of any substance - just lots of "annotating." Not very impressive or challenging.[/quote]
