[quote=Anonymous]This was our experience too - significant improvements in math and ELA between the beginning and end of 5th grade at BASIS. People think their kids are bad at math because they have never received sufficient instruction or homework to develop those skills. Not every kid will turn out to be a genius at BASIS, but kids will at least try to reach their potential which may be much higher than parents realize. At the same time, some parents do overestimate their kids’ abilities - that’s easy for parents to do when good middle school options are limited in DC and well educated parents have high expectations for their kids. Even if students move on to other schools, I would think the executive functioning skills and work ethic developed at BASIS help in any future setting. [/quote]
