It is always good to start with some sort of objective measure.  For instance, take a look at the latest 8th grade PARCC results (after almost all kids have had 3 years at Basis).  In that regard, Basis is tops in DCPS.  Basis DC also has the highest average SAT and ACT scores in DCPS, and the kids take more AP tests per student than any school in DC.  Sure, this is just a snapshot, out of date given the pandemic, etc.  But those are amazing results for a school that is less than 9 years old and one that gets better every year.  There is no question that the system works.

I agree with the commenter who noted that Basis is “a great school for kids who are smart, organized, efficient, motivated, and love learning.”  However, kids can also develop some of these abilities and skills at Basis.  My kid wasn’t very organized or efficient when s/he started but now is.  One of the best things about Basis is that your kid will learn executive functioning skills.  Once your kid picks these up, s/he can move through the work quickly. 
	
Sure, Basis DC is not for everyone.  But, for the right kid, the choice is obvious.[/quote]
