[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So from reading these trends, one can assume that the advantage of BASIS  over other middle schools is the fact that  there is accelerated math for most/all and that AP's  start in middle school.
 I am also reading that these same students with 3 or 4 years of accelerated math are not necessarily doing well in placement tests. Those students who have already taken the AP history test in middle school are getting upset because their AP is not being recognized by DCPS schools. If a student wants to go to Wall for a totally different experience, I do not understand why retaking a class is causing such a huge problem.  Shouldn't they just cruise through the course if they received "5"s on the exam?[/quote]

I am willing to bet that most students at SWW or anywhere for that matter would not necessarily cruise through a "placement" test 4 months to 4 years after the successful completion of a class. And this does not mean that the same student cannot go on and successfully complete the next logical class.

There is no reason SWW and DCPS cannot be flexible in this area since they already offer other math classes and other AP humanities classes.[/quote]
