[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  Anyhow, sorry that you feel the need to bash Latin.  I really feel it only strengthens DC that with Basis we might have three top tier middle school options instead of two.  [/quote]

Most Latin parents on DCUM certainly seem to love the school.  And yet, nearly one-third of AA middle school kids there, and almost half the AA 10th graders, aren't scoring proficient on the DC-CAS for either reading or math.  If drawing PPs attention to the fact makes me a Latin basher, OK, I'm a Latin basher.

What's going on, when only a tiny fraction of the AA students at Banneker and Walls aren't scoring proficient?  The Basis boosters are certain that their school's published scores will put Latin's to shame this time next year?  Is it possible, just possible, that self-selection as the admissions modus operandi at these MS and HS charters doesn't work very well?
