[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids go to BASIS DC, the school that DCUM loves to hate. My older child took a dozen AP courses. My younger child took two in 8th grade and is taking one this year in 9th grade. I think there will be five next year and another five in 11th grade and then kids are done. BASIS kids generally don't take AP courses in their last year of high school. [/quote] BASIS requires a lot of APs and has few options to take non-AP classes. It isn’t a selective group of students when everyone is required to take the AP classes. Then they adjust the final grades based on the AP test scores, like a C can get bumped up to an A. Starting AP in 8th and 9th grade is unnecessary, and could come back to haunt your student if they get a lower score than they would if they took it later in high school. AP is a money-making scheme that the top private schools are doing away with. It makes sense that BASIS locked into AP when it helped them with the rankings.[/quote]
