[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I'm gathering from all this information is that BASIS middle school has the most challenging curriculum in DC, but the high school curriculum is limited, and that Walls and JR give students the opportunity to advance farther in the subjects that they accel in. Useful to know. I'm very happy to send our kid there for 5-8, and we can make another decision/lottery/apply in 4 years. Curious what Banneker and McKinley will offer then, too.[/quote]

I think it is absolutely true that BASIS has the most challenging middle school curriculum in DC (at least of the public schools; no clue as to private).  I would also think the high school would be quite challenging - makes no sense that school would be toughest in middle school and then not so hard in high school.  I am very curious about the AB/BC two year calc thing at BASIS, though.  Is that a new requirement (two years of calc), and if so, why?  My kid at Walls (who went to middle school at BASIS) jumped straight from honors pre-calculus to Calc BC (no requirement to take Calc AB first).  (And yet - from what I have seen of Walls so far, I think BASIS (middle school) academics were more rigorous than academics at Walls).[/quote]
