[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] Because BASIS is a charter school. Charter schools must lottery seats. They are not allowed to have admissions tests. This is a federal rule, not a local one. BASIS is not allowed to just select the kids who are prepared, or else their whole admissions process would be different. [/quote]
