[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the midst of all criticism and bashing, let’s talk a moment to congratulate the Basis graduates for a very solid performance and wish them great success!! Thanks for the teachers as well! For all Basis students, you have the grit to make it! Truly not for everyone!

“ Based on to the 2021 U.S. News & World Report college ranking data,

100% accepted to a four-year college or university      
97% accepted to Top 100 Best National Universities      
85% accepted to a Top 11 Public University      
60% accepted to Top 25 Best National Universities      
22% accepted to Top 10 Undergraduate Research Institutions  
16% accepted to Top 15 Best National Universities      
12% accepted to an Ivy League school      
UVA, ranked #4 Public Schools, accepted 40% of our applicants compared to 28% of all in-state applicants. 
Additionally, William & Mary ranked #11 in Public Schools Nationally, accepted 50% of our applicants.”[/quote]

This class was always their best hope internally. They will need to leverage those results (which are very solid, no matter what anyone tells you) and bring in a fresh batch of 9th graders and start over again with the new HOS. [b]With any luck, they should have a decent crop of hyper-advanced kids who don't get into TJ because of the improved admissions process and will be looking for a place where they can take a similar slate of AP course offerings, even if the STEM profile isn't as elite.[/b][/quote]

Agreed!!  The change in TJ admission brings the lifeline for Basis McLean.  Where else are these high performing kids that do not win lottery going to go?  Particularly the Asian boys who will be discriminated if they stay in their neighborhood high school come to college admission time.[/quote]

Sad that the school continues to need a “lifeline.” They have yet to capitalize on the many opportunities that they have had so far. If they don’t fix the core problems they will run out of lifelines before they right the ship. Seven HoSs (perm and interim) in 5 years and massive staff and student turnover cannot be swept under the carpet.[/quote]
