[quote=Anonymous]The reason that BASIS DC doesn't backfill after 5th grade is not of the franchise's making. The BASIS Arizona campuses have always backfilled at every grade. Politicians there don't mind if entering students are giving tough placement exams. Most students who enter BASIS after 6th grade in Arizona must repeat a great, sometimes two, to join the program. In DC, such an admissions system would be considered discriminatory, opening the door to litigation, so none exists. Right, act like a DC public middle school EotP. Translation: don't offer serious academics or good discipline, ever. Why should we send our children to a middle school where most kids work behind grade level but there aren't any definite advanced classes, other than 8th grade algebra? You tell us.[/quote]
