[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SMH, BASIS doesn't have consistency, I'd be worried to send me kid there. [/quote]

Since BASIS does not accept new students past 6th grade, the current sophomores and juniors  have had at least 5 years of rigorous [b]world class education[/b] in every subject. So how is the school justifying the fact that many students are not getting at least a "3" on the AP exam? Also, I heard from a very reliable source that the SAT scores are in general quite mediocre two years in a row. Since the school has the upside down pyramid model and the weak students have been weeded out or left, shouldn't the majority of the students who survived score well?[/quote]

I'm not surprised given 25% of students at SWW and 30% of students at Banneker, who all had to test into those schools, can't pass an AP exam either.

My DC is at BDC in high school. Several students didn't take the SAT at all, but opted for the ACT. BASIS administered both the new Pre-ACT and PSAT so students could choose which to take.[/quote]
