[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The attrition rate is very high. They [b]lose at least 30%[/b] of students by 12th grade, graduating about 75 each year. They start with 125-150. [/quote] Basis apparently only KEEPS about 30%, losing 60-70% of their students by graduation, yet some people think it's a great school. So apparently attrition isn't something many parents consider, for better or worse.[/quote] Basis loses most student at 8th. The attrition from 9th to 12th is negligible. Comparing a 5th-12th grade school to a 9th-12th is misleading. [/quote] I'm not so sure it's a bad comparison. Banneker, I've heard, has highly demanding standards that results in a sort of up-or-out dynamic. I've heard the same thing about Basis. Since basis starts at 5th grade it makes sense that the attrition would happen earlier on. [/quote]
