[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SMH, BASIS doesn't have consistency, I'd be worried to send me kid there. [/quote]

Since BASIS does not accept new students past 6th grade, the current sophomores and juniors  have had at least 5 years of rigorous [b]world class education[/b] in every subject. So how is the school justifying the fact that many students are not getting at least a "3" on the AP exam? Also, I heard from a very reliable source that the SAT scores are in general quite mediocre two years in a row. [b]Since the school has the upside down pyramid model and the weak students have been weeded out or left[/b], shouldn't the majority of the students who survived score well?[/quote]

And folks on other threads keep claiming we have so many gifted & talented children in the District,  :oops:  :oops:  :oops: [/quote]

EXACTLY -- you'd think the Darwinian struggle to get past 7th grade would leave a really strong cohort but it just ensures the relatively few families gulping the kool aid remain in the fold[/quote]

It also reflects the lack of choices too many famlies have in DC. BASIS may be an awful fit, but they stay because the alternatives available to them are far worse (Coolidge, Ballou, Roosevelt ...). [/quote]
