[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To suggest that most of the top students stay is also false.

BASIS Class of 2023:  Zero to Ivy League.  One to Johns Hopkins; one to Cal Tech.

Walls Class of 2023: 7 Ivy Admissions, including several BASIS MS grads.

And the Walls Class of 2023 was also over 4 times the size(!!), so your figures are misleading.  If you adjust for class-size, results were equivalent.

In any case, I think we can agree that BASIS’ college results last year were disappointing.  If you look at the last several years you’ll have a better sense of college performance.

In any case, Walls’ standing is quickly going downhill, thanks to a lack of admissions standards.  But I acknowledge some of BASIS’ top kids left for Walls; at the same time, some of their top kids stayed, including those with options, including admissions to Walls.[/quote]

Agree with most of this:

1) The comparison between Walls and Basis is misleading since the Walls senior class was much larger than the Basis senior class.

2) The Walls class of 2023 was admitted with the old admission test.  The quality of admittees has since gone downhill since so that will affect college admissions going forward.

3) If some of the top graduates in the Walls class of 2023 were Basis MS grads, that seems like that an endorsement of the Basis educational system.

4) About 2/3 of the Basis class of 2023 was accepted to a T50 university.  That is a better overall result than Walls.[/quote]
