It feels good to be recognized for your hard work, doesn't it?
It is no secret that our students and teachers work so incredibly hard over the course of the school year. As such, it has been a delight to share with our readers more than a few instances of our students receiving impressive validation for their work from people and organizations outside of BASIS Independent. We're so excited to share this news with you that we'll cut to the chase:
Our students demonstrated exceptional performance on this year's National Latin Exam and National Spanish Exam! These exams test knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, and culture through listening and reading comprehension and are taken by middle and high school students across the Anglophone world.
NATIONAL LATIN EXAM
- Four of our middle school Latin students received perfect scores on the Intro Latin exam, putting them in the top 2% of over 140,000 test-takers.
- 28% of test-takers received ribbons denoting their placement in the 90th percentile or above.
- 100% of our Latin I exam test-takers received medals, including two gold medals, awarded to students scoring 90% and above.
- BASIS Independent Brooklyn had the most perfect scores of any other school in Brooklyn!
