[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does BASIS DC do with disadvantaged kids? Will BASIS McLean have scholarships for those who can't afford it? [/quote]

[b]The high school students at Basis DC (which is still small) are doing well [/b]and getting a lot of interest from colleges. This is even more true for the students of color and the ones who are economically disadvantaged (not all minority kids there are low income). Will be interesting to see the first graduating classes' college acceptances although the first senior class is tiny (17 students).

PP is right that Basis McLean does not and will not offer financial aid. I actually think for profit schools can't for some esoteric tax code reason. [/quote]

This is such BS, and this PP has to know that.  BASIS drums out so many kids during the middle school years---often during the fall, after BASIS has received its charter payment for the student, but late enough in the year that the departing student has no choice left other than the neighborhood school--that the only kids left in high school are like the people in the final episodes of Survivor.  And no one can first enroll in high school---ostensibly because the teaching method is so unique, but truly because they have winnowed out all the losers.  The remaining high school students remain on to gut through their last four lost years of childhood.  Why anyone would actually pay for this in McLean is beyond me.  Truly is killing off your kid's childhood, and paying someone to do it.[/quote]
