[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Relevant to this discussion, US News computes a figure they call “state assessment performance” which measures proficiency relative to what US News would predict based on demographics. On this measure BASIS DC ranks outside the top 8,000 schools in the country, which is worse than peer schools in DC like Latin, CHEC, Banneker, Walls, McKinley, and Duke. Perhaps more troubling, it’s quite bad compared to the BASIS schools in Arizona, all of which are ranked in the top 500 nationally. I don’t know why BASIS DC is so weak compared to both peer groups, but it certainly seems like something is wrong.

There are some great kids at BASIS DC, and I get that it’s the best option available for some families, but it really doesn’t seem like a model to be emulated. [/quote]

Meh. I’ll take a high performing peer group that US News thinks should be even more high performing over a mediocre or low performing peer group that US News thinks is doing better than they should be. Thanks.  [/quote]

I think you mean that mediocre is a group with all the advantages performing lower than they should. But I agree that families with kids who best fit at BASIS should have BASIS as an option.[/quote]
