BASIS DC doesn’t discourage students from taking AP exams.  In fact, they require AP exams to graduate.  As discussed above, in order to graduate, BASIS students must take at least 6 AP exams and obtain at least a 3 on one exam to graduate. [b]Plus, around 40% of BASIS students are AP Scholars (getting a 3 or higher on at least THREE AP exams)[/b], a status that fewer than 10% of students attain.  [b]In fact, the only public high schools in the DMV that have a 100% CRI are BASIS DC and TJ in Fairfax, which is considered one of the best public high schools in the US.

Citation for the bolded?  I'm guessing that you're misunderstanding the AP awards and the way they're reported.  For Basis schools across the country, around 21% earned the AP scholar award, 64% the AP Scholar with distinction award, and another 10% the AP scholar with Honors award in the spring of 2022.  Across all basis schools, only about 5% of the kids failed to earn at least the AP scholar award.  Unless DC is that much worse than all other basis schools, it is likely that you're missing the data for the other AP awards.  You only earn the highest award for which you are eligible.
