[quote=Anonymous]Don't understand the tracking angle. You mean that Basis plans to offer more than one level for the MS subjects it teaches? Or nobody knows yet? I didn't attend the info sessions, and don't have a kid heading there in the fall, so don't know what their approach to tracking will be. If every kid is on the road to take 8 AP classes, or leave, why would the school track? The AP track is the highest track. We're looking at moving to Takoma Park if our kid doesn't get into Latin, or maybe Basis, for MS, from Capitol Hill. Takoma MS offers honors classes for most subjects (outside the county-wide math magnet, serving 1/3 of the kids) has a greenhouse, radio station kids run, two gyms, great playing fields and tennis courts, well-stocked computer and science labls etc. I worry about the facilities at these DC charters, and DCPS middle schools other than Deal, which seem minimal by comparison. Anybody else concerned? [/quote]
