[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I asked my BASIS kid about CAPE and they said that, since it doesn’t count, no one cares and tries.[/b]

That said, there is no question that BASIS kids do really well on the test.  In fact, they have the top scores of any middle school in DC.

Here are the results for 8th grade for the latest CAPE testing.  This is after kids have been at schools such as BASIS, Deal, and Hardy for several years.

BASIS 84.4
Deal 81
Latin 2nd 72.4
Oyster 69.9
Latin Cooper 66
Hardy 65.9
S-H 63
DCI 58.1

BASIS 78.5
Deal 64
Latin 2nd 63.3
Oyster 63
Hardy 50
Latin Cooper 41.5
DCI 41
S-H 31.3[/quote]

I do not believe this for a second given the types of kids and families at BASIS.

Also, you must be new here. The 8th grade math results are the least meaningful. BASIS has 8th graders take 8th grade math even though they're on to more advanced math; other schools don't, so 8th grade CAPE math takers tend to be the 8th graders who are worst at math. Do these numbers exclude the advance math takers? Because, if so, they'd be even less meaningful. Basically it would be every 8th grader at BASIS vs all the kids who were specifically worst at math at the other schools.[/quote]

I would agree with above. Basis cooks the math scores.  You can just take that one out.  Not a similar comparison to other schools where kids take the test of whatever corresponding level math they are in that year. [/quote]
