[quote=Anonymous]You PPs sound ridiculously defensive.

Come on, every poster wanting to know details about what goes on at the school isn't intent on tearing BASIS down for no good reason.  Unfortunately, BASIS and other charters don't get anywhere near their fair share of public funds per capita, leaving them in a poor position to support serious extra curriculars to burnish college applications.  You see this in the sad fact that BASIS students who compete in academic competitions generally have to pay their own way to tournaments.

I'd like to know if the kids being admitted are low SES or high SES.  Low SES get a deserved break in elite college admissions, particularly if they've been students in one of the country's lowest-performing urban school systems all along.  High SES white students, not so much.

BASIS DC as a "tiny" little known charter school. Give us a break - the Arizona power franchise with multiple campuses has been around since the 90s.  The Ivies know the BASIS miracle well.
