BASIS uses the survival of the fittest model, with the fittest not necessarily being the smartest or most hard working. A student can get really good grades all year long; however 2 exams January precomp and June comp/final test) count for 60% of the entire year. So when admin wants to get rid of a student, they just give an F for the final exam and The A's becomes a C- and the B's becomes a D. And  there have been several cases  of large discrepancies in the grades given by teachers and marks in the report  cards. I understand grade manipulation happens in many schools, but not to this extend.[/quote]

This is BS. Any parent and student can request a meeting to review actual comprehensive tests per their policy which would make grade manipulation impossible.

Also, the comprehensive exams I saw were rather easy IMO and you only need 60% to pass which is a low bar. :roll: [/quote]

Not a BASIS parent, but I was going to say that this claim had to be false.  It doesn't make sense.  Under that theory, they could inflate a student's grade, as well, which would lead to serious issues.  If PP believes that is true, I feel they should bring their proof to the charter board.  It's not okay.  Otherwise, do not make crazy claims.[/quote]
