[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can BASIS students test into AP Calc BC without taking AP Calc AB? The have test-in math acceleration opportunities throughout MS and HS, and I'd be surprised if there wasn't one for this as well.

Can someone give context to BASIS only offering one AP Physics course when there are 4, after starting students on physics so early in MS (6th grade)?

How many kids do take/pass the other ones at JR and Walls? At privates?

No, they can't. We asked. BASIS lost a fine HS Physics teacher to DCPS two years ago. Middle school physics instruction isn't as strong as chem or bio instruction and they don't have the facilities for serious high school robotics or engineering work to motivate top kids to get serious about physics. J-R offers in the strongest physics instruction in DC public by a long shot, with at least a dozen students taking Physics 2 and the two Physics Cs every year.  Not sure about physics at privates in general but I know that St. Albans and Sidwell offer all four.[/quote]
