[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is a valid one. I agree, a BASIS education isn't bad, but it's not great either. The crux of the problem isn't that BASIS is a public school. The issues at BASIS are that the curriculum isn't much more than test prep, the building is lousy and teachers aren't paid or treated well enough for the faculty to be stable (like the Latins').

We don't have great public schools in DC. We could, but don't. There are no GT programs in District schools, not test-in programs below 9th grade. Absurd. [/quote]

There are no test-in programs in high school, either, unless Eastern IB or other within-school programs just aren't publicizing it, and even then you would have to get into the school first. [/quote]

The program at Eastern is called EPIC.[/quote]

And it's test-in? As in, you take a standardized test and the results determine admission? Do they say that somewhere? Can you see if you test in before you decide to go to Eastern?[/quote]

It's grades, PARCC (CAPE) scores, some other reading test, and essay.[/quote]
