[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You call it “gaming the system” but making sure a student gets a 3 on one AP exam by senior year should be the minimum goal of all schools. This is not a high bar. It’s sad that most schools don’t make “college readiness” more of a priority. [/quote] If Basis earned its CRI scores by teaching every student to that standard, you might be right. But they get those scores the easy way, by kicking kids out before senior year. They’re not increasing the numerator (college-ready students), they’re shrinking the denominator (high school seniors). Any school could do the same thing, without improving the quality of its instruction one whit. [/quote]
