[quote=Anonymous]Planning to move to VA or go private for an International Baccalaureate HS program which teaches our family's language at a level one or two years past AP. What I find about DC public schools is that the high needs population in the city, in both traditional schools and the charter sector, motivates school leaders up and down the chain to ooze paternalism, e.g. you have to study a language for years in school, or calculus, or whatever, or you won't be able to ace a slew of AP exams. Total BS. BASIS assumes that kids starting after 6th grade couldn't handle the science and math curriculum, so none can enter. Nonsense. There are more high-powered public middle schools than BASIS in this Metro area and in other US cities, e.g. the one I attended in NYC (Hunter College Middle School). [/quote]
