None*

You cut right to the heart of the matter here.  Let's say it again:  none.

* this answer is for elementary schools only.  I do think in a few years, BASIS will surpass Deal in quantifiable results --- depending on which faction wrests control of BASIS (ie, the common sense founder types, OR,  the litigating dreamers who think it makes sense for kids with four LDs and an IQ of 89 to apply to BASIS in the first place and demand a watered-down experience once they're in.

This is unbelievably offensive. EVERY public school/public charter school, INCLUDING BASIS, must a) expect to have students with disabilities enroll b) plan for those students c) serve those students. How dare you think that a charter school can have a mission that says "we're for high performers only"??? This is what gives charters (unfairly) a bad name. BASIS must serve all kids who lottery in. Their model must fit the students, rather than students having to fit their model. Yu Ying, Stokes, LAMB, etc could all do what you're suggesting BASIS does, BUT THEY DON'T. They make immersion work for all kids by expanding/altering their models to meet the needs of the students who walk through their doors. If  you think anything otherwise, then you should go to a private school or turn BASIS into a private school. But as long as BASIS accepts public funding, it must comply with federal and state law (or risk investigation by both which is apparently what is happening now).
