[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lower retention from 6th to 7th grade is likely because 6th grade is the first year of comprehensive exams. 5th grade is relatively easy and usually a great year at BASIS for many kids without the greater pressures of the later years. Families probably don’t anticipate their student doing poorly on the comprehensives and then when it happens in 6th grade, and they face the prospect of repeating a grade, they switch out for 7th grade. BASIS did accept three new 7th grade students this year seemingly because of that larger attrition from 6th to 7th grade. [/quote] But don't they get their comps results after the lottery closes?[/quote]
