[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There probably isn't a large enough pool of kids in DC who what or need the kind of academic rigor offered by BASIS for high school. Now if they allowed kids from all over DMV to come in and pay a reasonable tuition, the high school would be filled to the brim.[/quote] 9:14 again. That's interesting. I know DC parents say they want challenge, AP (or IB) opportunities. Does requiring 6 APs classes and tests to graduate scare people off? Personally I think it's the unproven thing (not that the leadership changes have been fun to live through). Until and unless Basis graduates a happy/well adjusted high school class that goes onto solid colleges, people will hang back for somewhat more established options (Walls, Banneker, Latin, Wilson). No one relishes being the first. [/quote]
