[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that Basis takes 130ish kids in 5th grade, and by 12th grade is left with 40. that means 90 kids/families are leaving over the years -- a full 70%. That attrition is actually crazy, and is a huge outlier. There is simply no other school in DC that is losing kids like that. [/quote] I'm no fan of BASIS, but that's not quite how it works. They push early high school graduation, so part of the drop between 11th and 12th is attributable to that. Comparing attrition through 11th grade would be the better measure. Also, they don't always take 130ish kids. In the enrollment audit for fall 2016 (the cohort that's in 12th grade now) they only had 119 5th graders on Count Day.[/quote]
