If you look at 10th grade, after kids have been at charters for a few years and at magnet high schools for a year or so, it is clear that BASIS DC is crushing it.  Even though BASIS DC is 100% lottery, it has a higher percentage at 4+ than even selective magnet schools such as Walls and Banneker:

10th grade 4+ scores

BASIS DC

ELA &gt;95.0
Math 89.2

Walls

ELA 95.4
Math 40.9

Banneker

ELA 91.8
Math 46.1

J-R

ELA 66.3
Math 11.3

Latin

ELA 65.9
Math&lt;10.0

DCI

ELA 36.2
Math 6.3[/quote]

Wow-impressive numbers.

Schools other than BASIS are surprisingly bad at teaching math and DCI seems to get worse as kids get older.[/quote]

Why are 10th graders even taking a math CAPE at BASIS? My DCPS 10th grader took AP math (and scored a 5). She didn’t take CAPE because the highest CAPE is for Algebra 2. [/quote]

BASIS has the kids take the math CAPE theoretically appropriate for their grade level rather than the class the kids are actually taking. It's sort of an apples to orange comparison between schools. That said, BASIS' absolute numbers are extremely good and that matters too/more for parents actually considering it.[/quote]

BASIS had its 10th graders take the Algebra I PARCC. Since when is Algebra I “theoretically appropriate” for 10th grade? [/quote]

No dog in this fight but that is absurd and yes, cooking the books[/quote]
