[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Appropriate placement, yes,[b] push them down multiple grades,[/b] especially if they're URMs and at-risk, no way. Yes, in Arizona, no in DC. Won't fly politically, non-starter. BASIS knows it so has taken the path of least resistance since its inception: no backfilling after 6th grade. [/quote] That doesn't happen in Arizona either. Few kids are enrolling even one grade level lower. None are doing more than that. There's a ton of self selection in entering the lottery for a grade higher than 5th. For the most part, if the kids don't pass the tests to move into their age appropriate grade level, they turn down the Basis spot. [/quote] Does AZ use an admissions test?[/quote]
