[quote=Anonymous]The much more logical answer to the question about why Walls lacks the same attrition: Walls is a selective application school which begins in 9th grade where students are selected based on criteria and when students are more likely to know whether an academic focused type of school is a good fit. BASIS admission, on the other hand, is pure lottery in 5th grade when families don’t know their students’ abilities nearly as well and have fewer good public options. Comparing the attrition between 5th and 12th grade at BASIS to lack of attrition between 9th and 12th grade at Walls is apples to oranges. At most, you can compare attrition from 9th through 12th at BASIS to the same grades at Walls but even that isn’t completely fair because Walls hand picked its student body.[/quote]
