[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can blame DCPS AND expect Basis to open its doors to students who can do the work. Do you think the kids who peel off for the competitive privates at ninth grade couldn’t handle Basis? Or the 4.0 kids who go on to SWW and then to top colleges? Why was SWW able to have an admissions test for so many years but Basis couldn’t?[/quote] I do assume that mostly. And that isn’t a compliment to BASIS. The program is rigid! The kids are fully indoctrinated by 9th grade. It would be awful for anyone to jump in at that stage, regardless of intelligence. [/quote] I think the biggest issue is just literally the math track. BASIS kids seems to all be at precal at 9th. If a kid has taken algebra 1, geometry and Algebra 2 they should be fine, but there is not other middle school in DC that offers that.[/quote]
