[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the parent of a Basis high schooler, I'd think about 2 things: what is my long goal for high school? and what characteristic about my child would be a good fit for Basis?

Basis HS is different from Basis middle (see multiple threads on this).

My [b]geeky, smart kid would not thrive in our huge local high school.[/b] Being with the same small cohort for all of these years has served them well.[/quote] OK, but he might have thrived in a big high school with high-octane academics for the most capable where a kid can find his niche in a group of the like-minded, in a strong band or orchestra program, a competitive robotics team, advanced language instruction, a small pre-IB Diploma program, a 9th grade cohort taking AP math or whatever.  BASIS force feeds far too much to its students. Small is nice, but so is choice and a good building. [b]You elected not to move and your huge DC high school (read JR) wasn't your only option in the area[/b].[/quote]

You are correct. I chose not to move to the suburbs. And my inbound is Eastern, not JR.[/quote]
