[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But why are we even comparing BASIS to MoCo? It's apples and oranges.[/quote] I agree. Comparing a charter that basically takes everyone to test-in STEM magnets doesn't seem fair.[/quote] What's not fair is that there aren't any quality STEM test-in magnets in DC, although we now have the population to support one on a par with Bronx Science or TJ. Elite colleges don't want to hear our sob story about the obnoxious political climate holding back our best and brightest. They just want somebody's best and brightest. The BASIS boosters don't want to deal with the reality that TJ's average SAT scores are around 200 points higher than those of the highest-performing BASIS branch (Tuscon). Oh but, of course, BASIS DC will outscore Tuscon by a mile, even without those lauded Fairfax ES gifted programs feeding into it. [/quote]
