[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im a former basis parent, and putting 5th grade with the younger kids makes sense. There is such a shift in curriculum after 5th grade[/quote] So at what point would they run off the kids who aren't as smart? Because right now that happens in 5th.[/quote] No, it happens in 6th and 7th. [/quote] Let's change this narrative - not all kids who "run off" after 5th, 6th, or 7th "aren't as smart." We took our "Honor Roll" kid out of BASIS because we wanted a different school experience. My "smart" kid is much happier with their new school, as are we. BASIS isn't just for "smart" kids. It's for kids/families that are ok with a school that has a very rigid curriculum, few electives and is very test heavy and/or don't have other options. [/quote]
