You are wondering why students in 11th grade are leaving BASIS?
How about the final exam grades being so low that the  "A" and the "B"s  maintained throughout the year transform into all "D"s  and a 3.4 GPA after the 2nd trimester suddenly becomes a 2.2 at the end of the year. The report card arrives in the mail with grades that do not make any sense, implying that all year long the student was  fine, but at the end of the year, only after the final exam, the student suddenly becomes, as a few personnel so eloquently put it "not BASIS material". Thankfully one teacher spoke out and said the grades on the report card were not the ones that had been submitted ... maybe this is why this teacher was suddenly let go of in July.[/quote]

holy crap! not a risk that any 10th grader wants to take with their transcript.  Did it have to do with AP scores or is there simply no logical explanation?  With finals (not comps) that are only something like 30% of your grade?  This really if true should not be allowed to happen.  But given the PP above, it sounds like anything can happen...........

PP I liked your "stream of consciousness screed."  Quite articulate and to the point.  Add that to this and you get a can of worms that every Basis parent should be concerned about and want to find out more about (especially the grades, because I am not sure we can find out anything more about you)[/quote]
