[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]its not the drop between 8th and 9th because thats a natural exit point (to private/dcps application hs/other more typical hs option with more ecs etc.). its the attrition after 6th/7th and during hs that raises eyebrows.[/quote] 10 percent of the students don't pass the end of year exams at the end of 6th grade, and they can't move on to 7th until they pass. Some families retake the test but many move on. This isn't a rumor or a guess, it's info that's freely shared by BASIS admin. That's why the lack of social promotion is linked to attrition.[/quote] Well what about the other 20-50% kids that leave in middle? They are not failing and don’t leave. Also kids can retake it and do move on. It’s not hard. Sorry but above is not the only reason for the high attrition. [/quote]
