[quote=Anonymous]I believe Basis is the only public school in all of DC that makes advancement to the next grade contingent on passing comprehensive exams. The 6th, 7th, and 8th graders that don't pass their comps will either repeat that grade or their families will choose to pull them out to a less-challenging school. The lower-performing students will either pull up, given the extra math and reading labs and STARS tutoring that Basis provides, or they will pull out altogether. Also, as Basis fills, you will start seeing virtually no open slots for new students in grades above 5th. Let's see what the CAS scores in those upper grades are a year or two from now.[/quote]
