[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Previous posters have good points. BASIS's building is awful, there's no denying that. The hallways and lunch room are crowded. They do not go outside everyday until 8th grade. The sixth grade class has been punished multiple times this year with "silent lunches" because they are too loud at lunch (see: lack of recess/outside time). There are some great teachers, and some not so great teachers. Kids are learning a lot, but much of it is memorization. There is no emphasis on writing at all in lower grades (my understanding this is true for the entire middle school). Lots of test prep with months focused on precomp and comp review. It can be a real slog. We know many families who are happy, and many that are fine with it as it's the best option they have.[/quote] PP here - we know several families who have left before or by high school as well.
