[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys need a life. Come on, parents are hardly "bashing" BASIS in making factual statements re the crappy building, the fact that good young teachers have a strong tendency to leave after two or three years, that classroom management can be a real problem where teachers are inexperienced (not unusual), or the there's attrition from every grade every year for whatever reasons.

[b]Of course you don't know where everybody goes when families leave your kids' cohort[/b].  We kept our destination under wraps the spring we left to simplify matters.

I wouldn't expect a BASIS expansion to the lower grades to be much different than the BASIS MS. Doubt they will get approval this time either.[/quote]

It. Is. Published.[/quote]

It’s only published if the family goes to another DC charter or public school.[/quote]

Negative. The number of kids who move outside of DCPS or charter also published. It is the "Not in Audit" bucket.[/quote]

The accuracy of the data published leaves something to be desired because BASIS is a public school where parents can't be forced to divulge where they're heading. We know a few families who reenrolled at BASIS in the spring then didn't turn up in August. One family enrolled at Deal for 7th grade after school had started because the kid refused to return to BASIS. They rented an apt in NW from Labor Day weekend. Their BASIS spot was never filled of course. Audit or no audit, everybody at BASIS isn't fessing up to their plans. If you want private school type commitment to a program, with parents paying into a capital improvements fund when they first enroll and putting down big deposits each spring, you need to pay for private school.

You are adorable. You say no one can know. It is explained to you that the data is published. Instead of going back under your rock you reply with an incoherent response about the "accuracy of the data". The data does not rely on parents disclosing where kids enroll. DCPS knows where kids enroll the next year. That is how they know how many kids move out of DCPS and PCS.
