[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They also have a "disinvite" policy. [b] If students do not maintain a B average or have behavior problems, they are not invited back after freshman year.  The current sophomore class is 20% smaller than last year. [/b] [/quote]

Holy c---p! That's tougher than most private schools from what I've heard. Are all the HS application DCPS schools like this?[/quote]

BASIS DC has comprehensive exams 6th-8th.  If you fail anything but math, you take it again in the fall, and if you fail again you have two choices - repeat the grade or leave the school.  Means the kids who are now in 8th (who started in 6th) are a pretty solid group.  Our oldest class is only in 10th grade, we have been open for 3 years, most admits are in 5th.  Some in 6th, but you are behind.  After that no new admissions.  It is a pyramid model, and a chain, and the oldest BASIS schools in AZ only graduate 50/60 kids a year.  Great math tracking starting in 5th, science tracking starting in 8th.  No majors like McKinley though.  Over 40% FARMS, enough white students not to have to worry about being an "only," and the number of white students seems to be increasing every year.  The MS beat everyone except for Deal on the DC CAS last year.[/quote]
Yesterday you hijacked a post about Banneker. Today you're hijacking a post about McKinley Tech.
Looks like BASIS recruiters are getting desperate[/quote]

Not the PP but since when is comparison = "desperation"?  And since when is it OK to talk on and on about Banneker, Wilson, McKinley et cetera in thread after thread and fine for folks to insert their $0.02 about their own school without criticism, but the minute someone dares chime in to bring up BASIS, you immediately launch into [b]your shrill hysterics about "recruiters" and "pimping" and "desperation"  blah blah blah?   The other schools aren't getting that treatment from you even though other posters constantly do the exact [/b]same thing.  And, you hop from thread to thread with your apparent sole reason for existing on earth to try and bash BASIS every chance you get.  You are truly ludicrous with this nonsense of yours. [b] Take it down a notch.[/quote][/b]

This NP would like to say, "pot meet kettle".[/quote]
