[quote=Anonymous]What that shows is that colleges don't care about how nice your high school facilities are.....they care if the student has brains and has participated in what the school offers

Plenty of JR kids have little to show college admissions officers, hence their poor college results given the size of the school....a few IVY acceptances out of an enormous graduating class means very little.....

[quote=Anonymous]out of 45 high school seniors, there are already 6 of them accepted to Ivy League Schools

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer is yes if they live in-bounds for both Deal and JR because they know that's always a backup if it isn't working out.

Basis has a larger issue for HS in that it is so small.  It doesn't offer the "high school experience" so to speak...so you see attrition to Walls and elsewhere including private.

Perhaps it's getting better on that front.[/quote]
It is getting better because it is harder to get into Walls.

When it used to be a test - BASIS students were all in play for being selected for the interview.
Now that the test is removed, not everyone from BASIS who wants to move makes the cut.  [/quote]

BASIS is getting better? Proof of this? The HoS does seem better but that's about it.

BASIS DC is in terrible debt and it shows in the way the campus runs. BASIS' high school isn't getting bigger either if that's what you're claiming.  [/quote][/quote][/quote]
