[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason my kids are at BASIS and not SH is because SH does not offer adequate tracking across subjects, plus the lack of a high school path.

And the primary reason my kids will stay at BASIS and not attend Walls is because Walls does not offer strong enough academics (my kid got in but did not want to repeat Algebra II or a variety of science classes, among others).

If DCPS offered genuine tracking and a truly accelerated curriculum at an actual test-in magnet school, we'd have likely stayed in DCPS for middle school and high school respectively.

This is not a matter of "charter school drain."  Rather, it's a failure of DCPS to serve its most advanced students, particularly in upper levels.[/quote]

Yes, you have to love the posters slamming BASIS for "stealing" kids from crummy DCPS middle schools.

Agree that DCPS is failing to serve its most advanced students.  That is why people go to BASIS, leave for the burbs, or go private.

And then we read about how DCPS awarded over a quarter of billion dollars in illegal contracts over the last 3 years:

But yet some posters want to pin blame on successful charters such as BASIS, which are succeeding wildly with limited resources.
