We were at BASIS for the past three years. We applied to 4 competitive schools and did not get in. So much for BASIS being an prestigious institution.[/quote]

I don't think that has been the typical experience.  
And we get kids into Walls like nobody's business.  Not that I see the attraction there, just saying that the math here helps us score high on the placement test, and I don't think anyone failed the interviews this year... How many will actually leave is still an open question - but Walls and BASIS know.  We know quite a few kids who applied to and got into private schools for high school.  If your kid did well, I don't know what went wrong.  Maybe 4 schools was not casting a wide enough net? If you had no safety?  Maybe the SSATs?  Although after 3 years at BASIS the only weakness you might have there depending on the English teacher would be verbal - and that can be prepped for......  so sorry.  Go for Walls in 10th.  You will still probably get in if you want to leave BASIS so badly.[/quote]
