[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why were the Basis College matriculations so mediocre last year? 
I just watched the commencement video. 
Most "honors" grads going to places like Temple, Penn State, Michigan State. 
Valedictorian to Duke
Salutatorian to NW
Only Ivy admits were Brown (URM), Yale (URM), Yale (kid who had done years of Latin quiz bowl competitions at Yale). 
Less than 5% of the class to top 20 schools.

I know that college isn't everything but why take years of AP classes if you're going to end up at Penn State?
You could make it there on much, much less.

You seem like a crazed stalker.

Feel free to share the college results of the DC public school your kids attend.[/quote]

Well, I'm not a crazy stalker. I'm your garden variety UMC BASIS high school parent. To my knowledge, the above list is accurate.

Most stakeholders would argue that 20% to top colleges in fantastic; better result than any other program in the area, public or private.

From my perspective, too many BASIS students sacrifice too much without a real chance to shine or enjoy HS. Their experience is reflected in the less than stellar college admissions results BASIS gets.[/quote]
