[quote=Anonymous]Realistically, an admissions test would never happen in DC, as we all know. But I do think that it would be smart for the Charter Board to allow Basis to administer one. They could select the kids most likely to succeed using their academic model, and focus on retaining those kids throughout middle (and perhaps high) school. Instead they take a huge 5th grade class, knowing that they will need to weed out many of them to arrive at a cohort that will succeed at their school. This takes a toll on everyone-- the kids that don't make it, their peers/friends who do, and the kids who could have succeeded there, but struck out in the lottery and weren't offered spots in the first place. It stinks.[/quote]
