[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One more note on the size.

I just looked up the stats.  For the 2022-23 school year, there are 663 students in the whole school.

There are about 150 in 9-11 grade.   All but one or two of of those 150 have been there for 5 years.  That is a small, tight high school. For us, it is amazing.

Contrast (using four year numbers, not three, as all others standardly have 4 years of attendance):  
Walls:600
JR: 2000+
DCI:  500+
St. Albans:  250
Gonzaga: 972
Visi:  492
Sidwell:  500

[/quote]. BASIS is amazing for DC public if, and it’s a big IF, all you want is AP test prep in about half the 32 subjects tested. If you’re looking for more, you won’t find it.[/quote]  Exactly. But if you're not the kind on high school they're looking for, willing to continue to do just as you're told, fitting in may prove a struggle. Any thoughts of marching to your own drummer, e.g. a gap year or substituting Cambridge Exams for APs, no interest, no support. BASIS runs a high school that works brilliantly for families fully invested in the hard-driving AP prep model who can't swing privates. Sounds like you'd break the mold, OP.  I'd start considering alternatives if you haven't already.[/quote]
