[quote=Anonymous]Okay this focus on high-SES retention is wheeling a bit out of control. As I understand it, Basis aims to teach all comers regardless of SES. If they are smart and hard-working, what the heck does high-SES matter? The best friend of my DC (high SES white) is low-SES aa. I could simply not be happier that he does not have the attitude that he wants to be surrounded by kids who are well-off. If instead you are referring to a wholesale bolt in 9th grade, that happens throughout DCPS. Private high school is candy to those who can afford it, but if the school is successful in its mission to teach kids well, the SES ratio will not be the deciding factor. Remember too that if you compared two virtually identical high-SES seniors, one at private one at public, the kid at the public school will have an easier time getting into the top colleges. [/quote]
