[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]141 5th graders to 58 11th graders?

For a public school?

Wow. [/quote]

60% attention rate.
 
Range is going to be anywhere between 40-60%.

DCI 4-5%

Latin - I would guess also similar under 5%.

Huge contrast [/quote]

Attention rate? lol.  Pay attention:

DCI and Latin socially promote, have lower test scores, and worse college outcomes.  Some kids don’t go to college.
 
BASIS DC is ranked the #139th best public school in the United States.

No social promotion, no backfilling, great test scores, and top-notch college outcomes.

The model works great for academically motivated kids.  Sign me up.

+1 million.

Apparently, a lot of people don’t understand how the model works in DC given PCSB and the Basis charter.[/quote]

I’m a “Basis booster” as they say, but see no need to dunk on DCI and Latin, both of which work quite well for motivated students willing to take advantage of all their offerings.

Latin has way more poor kids than BASIS. They reserve more than four times as many seats as BASIS for kids who are homeless, get food stamps, etc. [/quote]
