[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I'm not carping mom. Call me skeptical dad who'd be leaving if we had a better option. PP above sugarcoats the situation. Rude and dismissive "apologist" parents are the ones with nothing to add to the conversation. What they do is slam anybody with the gall to call out a self-serving administration (new one, last one), and not just here on DCUM. They're grasping at straws on PARCC scores. It's not even PARCC anymore, it's CAPE and many high performing high school students don't take the useless test seriously. Why should they? What's it in for them? Some top students do leave for Walls.

No, BASIS students aren't "as good" as Walls' students overall because they aren't supported in building impressive CVs in the same way. Strong ECs can make all the difference in college admissions.

The point about BASIS' inability to replace high-fliers is a fair one, but I'm not sure that things are set in stone as all that. Some of us think that BASIS could and should try to rework their DC charter, like other DC charters have done. But our opinion counts for zilch. Parents have no say at BASIS, none, teachers, too. This is the franchise that bans PTAs. [/quote]

+1. High school CAPE scores don't matter and the new BASIS HoS isn't an improvement.[/quote]
