[quote=Anonymous]Basis had a algebra II class last year with only 8 students. 4 were from the 6th grade. The class scored highest among all Basis Algebra II classes including Tuscon and Scottsdale which are ranked at the very top of all schools in the country. Also all the Basis schools take the same final exam which is prepared by Basis corporate so the results can be compared across schools. If there are are 8 at Basis alone, there must be at least 20-100 more city wide. Easily enough to create a city wide class/school that is at the same level as TJ (but maybe smaller). The kids do skew white and male, but there are girls too and different ethnicities in the group as well and special needs kids to boot. The chances that DCPS will make an effort for this group are in short term are _________________? (Probably nill.) If the kids skewed black the chances would be _____________? (probably pretty good. ) Am I imagining this or is it flat out bigotry. [/quote]
