[quote=Anonymous]Agreed. Folks need to consider that BASIS starts at 5th because they need an “onboarding” year, knowing that students come into the school with different levels of readiness and need time to get more on the same page before the true middle school years. What would be nice is if rigor could start as early as 3rd grade in elementary schools (that’s when VA offers the AAP option) so that kids would have a much better shot at being prepared for a rigorous middle school. The upper elementary school program is lacking across the board in DC and students might need to make up for that when they first get to BASIS. The instruction between our prior elementary and 5th grade at BASIS is night and day. I can only imagine how many better PARCC scores the city could have if a program like BASIS started earlier.
