[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Ludlow-Taylor can produce kids who do well at BASIS, then BASIS elementary should be able to do the same thing with the same demographics, right?  So all BASIS has to do is use the at-risk preference to mimic Ludlow-Taylor's setup. Easy peasy![/quote]

It is actually easier than that. BASIS will get kids in K+ and be able to teach them how to study and instill executive functioning well before 5th. [/quote]

And Ludlow-Taylor was recently 17% at-risk and 14% students with disabilities. So BASIS can aim for 17% at-risk, through the preference. That's higher than the 8% at BASIS right now, but if it works for Ludlow-Taylor then why shouldn't it work for BASIS? Amirite?

What are you talking about? [/quote]

I mean - since BASIS does not socially promote, the kids graduating from 4th will necessarily be ready to move to 5th, regardless of their demographics.

I'm talking about how people are saying (I think) that BASIS middle school won't do well if BASIS operates an elementary school, because the kids moving from BASIS 4th grade to BASIS 5th grade will be demographically different and therefore not as academically advanced. I think that's what they're saying, anyway. But if Ludlow-Taylor can successfully prepare kids for BASIS despite some of them being at-risk, then can't BASIS also prepare kids for BASIS with a similar at-risk percentage?[/quote][/quote]

BASIS will be forced to socially promote in ES if they are allowed to open. Zero chance PCSB allows a non-socially promoting ES.[/quote]

Why do you think this is so? It's not true. The PCSB has no policy or rule that encourages or restricts social promotion. Also, a decade ago or more the DCMR rule that covered DCPS retention and promotion was clarified to state that "a DCPS student can be retained at any grade level."
