[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A typical student of a top private would not last a quarter at Basis, particularly if he/she/they entered later in the curriculum after (borderline irresponsible) middle school content acceleration has kicked in.. many of the top privates are already doing away with APs out of fear from having their students perform poorly. In contrast, Basis pushes a lot of APs and integrates the AP grades into the students course grades shown in their transcripts... meaning that if you flunk an AP there are real repercussions to the grade of that subject in the transcript... if you do well, there are good repercussions :)!

You’re joking right?  Our school did away with APs because teachers know it’s a joke and didn’t want to teach to the test. 
. 99.9 percent of students in this area take APs. It’s become irrelevant. [/quote]

This! My kid at a private with limited APs just started her first ones. She said how easy they are and she is on track for an A+. [/quote]
