PP has some serious issues regarding BASIS. BASIS does not control what students come through its doors. Complaining that a school is a great example and has high scores sounds ironic and desperate in a city lacking quality MS and HS. When my in-boundary MS and HS reach BASIS proficiency levels I'll do a rethink. Remember jealousy is a curse.[/quote]

Actually, if you look at 6th grade scores across schools, Basis doesn't seem all that great, especially for ELA. Our kid was in Basis through 6th, and we decided to leave for a variety of reasons, one of which was the English curriculum (with an extreme focus on grammar and very little writing or reading). It's harder to compare Basis to other schools after 6th, given that many kids get weeded out due to the comps. Kids who are still at Basis by 8th or 9th are probably pretty good at taking tests.

6th grade ELA:
Deal 71
Hardy 67
Oyster 62
Inspired 61
Latin 60
Basis 57

6th grade Math: 
Deal 62
Latin 56
Basis 55
Hardy 49
Inspired 43[/quote]

Would love to see this data for 8th graders - would give a better picture beginning to end of Middle School[/quote]
