[quote=Anonymous]I agree with "22:11" I’m a parent of a kid in the Algebra II class at Basis and my sense is that the kids in the class are doing generally well. The average grade in the class was shared and was high. Sometimes, some of the kids talk about their grade on the weekly quiz and sometimes my child tells me. The Algebra II class at Basis shows a commitment to instruction based on ability, even when you have a small number of kids that tested that high (8-9?). From what I can tell, tracking (what Basis calls “Leap”) in math is standard in Basis schools in the 5th grade. According to the Basis Website, Leap starts for the other subjects around the 8th grade. And I’d guess that even the non-Leap classes at Basis might be designed to be much harder than classes in other schools, even good schools. We (Basis parents) will see if they can pull off the Basis model here in DC, but so far so good! [/quote]
