[quote=Anonymous]Even if kids drop out at the end of 8th grade and want a more traditional high school experience, those kids that attended BASIS for 4 years (5-8th grades) are far more advanced academically than those kids who stayed in a traditional middle school. They are already accustomed to a heavy academic work load and will probably do better in high school than a kid who was at the same academic level they were back in 5th grade. I have no dog in this fight. My kids don't go to BASIS- we don't live in DC, but I can see how learning to work hard and be challenged can be a good thing before high school. [/quote]
