[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The enrollment ceiling increase policy has explicit criteria on subgroup performance and exclusionary discipline.  I am not sure this would apply, but can Basis meet the criteria?  It seems like their high ratings stem from avoiding serving the more challenging students.[/quote]

yes you are right.  From the minutes that were shared in the link above:

Mr. Bumbaugh expressed concern about the school’s demographics.
Specifically, across the charter sector, 79% of students are economically
disadvantaged, but that number is only 17% at BASIS DC PCS. Across the
city, 15% of charter students have IEPs, but that number is less than 5% at
BASIS DC PCS. Across the city, 51% of charter students are at risk, but that
number is under 10% at BASIS DC PCS. Across the charter sector about 7%
of students are English Language Learners, that number is statistically zero at
BASIS DC PCS. Mr. Bumbaugh asked whether BASIS DC PCS intends to
create a clear and measurable plan to close these gaps. [/quote]
