Basis is better that GDS, STA, Potomac, Maret, Holton, and NCS? Interesting.

The indisputable answer here is yes. The school went from <500 students during the worst of COVID to now around 700 students, while continuing to place seniors at the top universities every year. Doesn’t mean the school is perfect and is better than *name your favorite school here*. But the HOS has done as good of a job as anyone possibly can. The new HOS will be the current associate HOS so the past few years’ progress should continue seamlessly.

Btw, the HOS has been here since 2021 and won’t leave until Fall 2025. Also, there is nowhere near 50% teacher turnover since the current HOS took over in 2021. Previous posters have a personal vendetta with the school for some reason, and have no problem pulling facts out of thin air. As a parent, we have been very happy with the HOS over the past few years and am sad he is leaving but am also happy with the school’s decision to promote the associate HOS. Jury is still out on how it’ll turn out.


Basis is not a real private school in the way most of us think of a private school.
