BASIS DC students routinely apply to college bringing half a dozen 4s or 5s on AP exams to the table, and they're hardly alone.  Roughly one-third of BASIS students start taking APs in 8th grade.  By the time they apply to college in October or January of senior year, they're not short on 4s and 5s on APs.  Same story in many suburban high schools and DC privates.  DCPS aims far too low in college admissions as a system.[/quote]
BASIS DC students are bringing 4’s and 5’s on AP’s but many of these supposedly brilliant students are having problems in college, changing majors, and even quitting. As a matter of fact, 2 top class of 2017 students recently
graduated from College without honors or any type of distinction. [/quote]

To be fair, my son had the fourth-highest GPA at his large FCPS high school, 5's on nine AP exams, and also recently graduated from his (Ivy League) college without honors or any type of distinction, so that's hardly an exclusively BASIS phenomenon.  (Lack of honors notwithstanding, DS loved his college experience, and I'm confident he will do great in life.)[/quote]
