[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last night there was an event for BASIS families. The HOS shared that the school has 642 students enrolled this year -- including 59 9th graders (largest cohort that has ever stayed there from 8th to 9th).

So I think the 5th grade waitlist did move less than it has in past year.

Any other news from the event?  We are a BASIS lower school family, but were unable to attend last night.[/quote]

Nothing earth shattering -- I think the powerpoint is going to be sent out via parent square. Covered lots of things that they are proud of and named specific areas for continued growth and improvement. Reported out high level results of student, parent and teacher satisfaction surveys.

My kid is in high school so I was most focused on the information related to the class of 2018 and colleges.

The average SAT score for the class of 2018 was 1280 (up from 2017 and on par with SWW but not quite where Jill wants it to be; 17 grads (15 seniors and 2 juniors who graduated early) earned total $3.8M in merit awards; the AP exam pass rate was 10 points higher in 2018 than in 2017. For second year in a row a BASIS student was the city's female "State AP scholar" meaning most AP exams and highest score on them in the city.

BASIS MS did particularly well on comps (compared to other schools in the network) in physics, Latin (8th) and English scoring higher than some of the more established BASIS schools.
