[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nonsense.  BASIS teaches no science past AP level and the highest score students can get on AP exam is a 5.  JR teaches all the AP STEM exams, just like BASIS, with multiple JR students scoring 5 on each of them annually.  The exams are:

AP Chemistry
AP Biology
AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Physics C - Electricity and Magnetism, AP Physics C - Mechanics
AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC
AP Environmental Studies
AP Statistics
AP Computer Science A (AB no longer given)

Yes, BASIS teaches serious science younger than DCPS, which is neither here nor there for JR students who score high on AP STEM.  I note that J-R students have four AP exams cycles to take their APs, while BASIS students only have 3 per program rules.  That's how BASIS works, OP.[/quote]

80% of DC high school aged students don’t live in the JR boundary, so the offerings and outcomes there are not really relevant for most of us.[/quote]

Shhhhhhhhhhhh. The JR catchment parents want to lecture us all about how what they have we can't is better. They DEMAND the rest of us sit quietly while they lecture. It is their god given zip code right.[/quote]
