[quote=Anonymous]If Basis retains the great majority of the upper middle-class families starting in 5th, and/or affluent replacements, to the all-important AP tests (doubtful), and 95%+ of the students pass the 10th grade DC-CAS (if there is still such a test by then) we might be interested eventually for our tiny tots.   As you may know, close to 100% of the kids at Walls and Banneker are passing the DC-CAS, no great hurdle.

I don't much care what a school is up to, in DC or Arizona, beyond the demographics.  Simply put, if a giant cohort of high-SES families of various races are still invovled for 12th grade, as at privates, this alone is sufficient evidence that the program is working well enough for the likes of us for high school (MIT grads working for Uncle Sam while still paying student loans).  If not, it's not.  At Washington Latin, nearly 1/3 of middle school kids currently fail to test proficient on the DC-CAS and around 40% of 10th graders.  Not nearly good enough.  If Basis is in the same boat down the road, forget it.  If it does much better, as expected, we'll have a look.
