[quote=Anonymous]You're painting with too broad a brush. Not all the BASIS students who leave before high school "wash out," not by any stretch of the imagination. Some families vote with their feet to independent schools or suburban middle schools offering just as much math and science rigor, along with stronger humanities offerings (especially in modern languages and English), and far better facilities. Some also head to Deal for what they consider a better-rounded middle school experience. These days, 6th grade algebra isn't uncommon in MoCo and Fairfax, and neither are kids taking AP exams in 8th, 9th and 10th grades. Indeed, any middle or high school student can take any AP test any May simply by registering on line, and turning up at a school where a particular test is given. The homeschooling movement has ensured that this is the case. [/quote]
