[quote=Anonymous]I believe the truth is actually the opposite. Many of the best students leave after 8th grade because they have choices:  Privates/Parochial (e.g. St. Johns),  publics such as Jackson Reed or Walls.

But because of the class sizes, the composition of the class is somewhat erratic from year to year.

Including unannounced admits, 5 Ivy league plus other Top 25 schools is a great accomplishment so far for the school.

Basis DC Instagram already shows 3 UPenn admits out of a class of about 40-44?

[quote=Anonymous]I know two BASIS DC kids got in ED.[/quote][/quote]

I’m sure those kids are very accomplished. That’s a great result!

At the same time, how/why does a public charter school in a city of 700K have a graduating class of 40 kids? If a school’s denominator is tiny because only the highest achievers stick around through grade 12 (which has always been the case with Basis), its results *should* be stellar. But at some point it becomes a misnomer to call such a place a “public” school. [/quote][/quote]
