[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You call it “gaming the system” but making sure a student gets a 3 on one AP exam by senior year should be the minimum goal of all schools. This is not a high bar. It’s sad that most schools don’t make “college readiness” more of a priority. [/quote] +1. Basis is ”gaming the system” by having high standards? That is a stupid argument. DCPS doesn’t even require one AP class to graduate. You can take an auto mechanics class instead. No wonder most DCPS schools fail at preparing kids for college.[/quote] +2. While DCPS doesn’t require an AP class, Walls effectively requires 2 AP classes (Basis requires 6 AP classes). I guess that Walls is “gaming the system” too.[/quote] No, because Walls is open about being a selective school and BASIS loves to claim that it isn't selective. And because Walls doesn't make people repeat grades.[/quote]
