[quote=Anonymous]There are no comps in 5th grade - that is the year where BASIS tries to get everyone up to the same level in math ability and literacy. Extra support is given. Everyone must pass all comps to move up in 6-8th grade. Multiple chances. The students who fail comps are not forced to leave, but some do not want to do the work or be held back a grade, so they leave to go to their IB or other charters. The comps do not have to be aced, just passed. The good thing about this system is that by 9th grade, all students are at a basic proficiency level in all subjects, which isn’t always a given in standard DC high schools.[/quote]
