Why not have an admissions process for ninth grade admission to Basis? Surely the great minds could figure out how to at least attempt to fill those seats. Basis senior classes are so small.

But I guess they will continue to just throw their hands up and say no one will let us have an admissions test so we will go along assuming that no single child in the entire city is smart enough to join Basis for HS.

What kind of admission process do you propose to ensure kids are prepared for the BASIS 9th grade curriculum?

BASIS 9th graders take the following classes: Honors science, Honors English literature, Honors English language and composition, some version of pre calculus (I’m not sure all the options), AP US Government, foreign language, and an elective which is likely another AP class.

Tell me which other school offers this as a baseline for Freshmen?

And while we are at it— why can’t all kids in DC have access to a school the caliber of Walls or Jackson Reed?
