[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post is hard to follow. We left BASIS for a suburban school in 9th grade without telling DC public where we were going. Easily done.[/quote]

When you leave and don't enroll withing DCPS/PCS you show up in "Not in Audit". You seem a scary combination of ignorant and condescending.  [/quote] I’m not the person you’re lashing out at but I can tell you that the data on leaving BASIS for other DC public options doesn’t always provide a full picture. Take a BASIS student we know who left after 6th, allegedly for Stuart Hobson. The parents enrolled her in a DCPS program with no intention of sending her there. They didn’t want community flak for their true plan, to homeschool her for 7th. We know another family that left BASIS after 7th for Hardy, only to leave a week in after they got off a WL at a private.  Hint: enrolling in by-right public schools is free and v. easy to do if you have an IB address. [/quote]

I think the audited enrollment data in edscape and elsewhere is reporting students who were enrolled in the next school on count day which is in October. Those students may have just registered and then left but they aren't counted if they leave before the October count. At least in the charters, they have to prove that the student has been regularly attending through count day to be counted as enrolled. I believe this is the same for DCPS.[/quote]
