[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All DCPS needs to give a credit in a math course is a full year of that subject. Basis could put a full year of Algebra I, Geometry, etc. on their transcript and DCPS would give the kids credit when they transfer. [/quote] BASIS' transcripts say: Alg 1/Geometry Alg 2/Geometry PreCalculus The math curriculum covers Geometry over 2 years. Until a year ago, the word "Geometry" didn't show up on the transcript which did create issues. Last year BASIS changed the class name to reflect the content and help students who leave BASIS for other schools. But DCPS doesn't care about what's on the transcript. They still require students to test out of Alg 1, Geometry and Alg 2, precalc by taking multiple unit tests (not just a final exam). To be fair, I was told they does the same thing to students coming from any charter (not just BASIS) or private school. [/quote]
