This is slightly ridiculous. It is a better school because those who graduate are more proficient. Now, it kicks out many kids but that is entirely its right as an application school seeking to educate the high achievers. I'm not sure you would be making such a fuss if this were TJ in Virginia with this attrition rate. Because TJ is mostly white/asian it would be seen as kids not being able to keep up with the curriculum and being steered toward a more appropriate environment. SWW may be harder to get into but its metrics for continuing aren't the same - it caters to more individualized learning. [/quote]

YEp.  We bitch and moan about not having a school for high achievers in DC, one that is rigorous and based on standards, and yet lo and behold, we actually do have one, and it educates only the brightest kids, and its test scores are held up a unfair because it moves out kids who don't do well.  Let's celebrate the fact that there is a school that is doing a great job educating students to an advanced level!   [/quote]

I have to chime in that BASIS high school scores were 91 ELA/86 Math - the BASIS 10th graders are a small cohort but scored quite well.
