Meanwhile, it's going to be at least 6 years before we even start seeing any SAT results from BASIS, and even as a BASIS parent I don't see much point in maintaining a constant high daily level of angst about it for six whole years as some the other posters here seem to want to - DS is getting a good education there, is building great skills on many levels, and I'm quite confident he will ultimately nail the SAT and get a great score and open many doors for himself regardless of where he goes to school.[/quote]

OK, sure, he'll nail the SAT, but when do we get past this wait-and-see schools culture?  In six years?  In twelve?  Basis let in plenty of [b]poorly prepared 7th and 8th graders[/b] who aren't exactly on track to ace the SAT in four or five short years.  Phasing them all out would obviously mean a budget crisis for Basis.  Really wish they'd stuck to their guns by insisting on starting only with 5th and adding a grade a year.  Other charters have done that.

Some of the kids in upper grades are doing just fine but for those who are that far behind and that underprepared, they will surely wash out with the comps, if not sooner.  And for the current lower grades and prospective ES students, they will be seeing everything on track right through high school.  So, I'm not worried about it one bit.  [/quote]
