[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has been started by Basis Mclean boosters.  They asked for schools in DC/VA/MD ( see title) just so that Basis could be in the conversation.

The title has “based solely on academics” to ensure there is a hook to include Basis.

Then the conversation was deliberately veered to APs which are no longer a thing for many privates ~ again to keep Basis in the conversation.

I am sure someone will now bring up AMC or something similar that Basis emphasizes.  Again to boost Basis.

This is what happens when a for profit school enters the mix.  A lot of dollars are riding on the success of the school.  And getting publicity via DCUM is much better than advertising.

It is legit way for the school to sell its services but it is good for us to know.[/quote]

What the boosters won't tell you is that BIM has lost many of its best core teachers, especially in STEM, the past two years.  They have an urgent opening for an AP Physics and Linear Algebra teacher during the school year.  Some teachers left for personal reasons, some because they couldn't stand the new HoS.  Now they teach at many of the other schools discussed here. They are gone.

So past BIM results are far from guaranteed given the larger number of new and less qualified faculty.[/quote]
