[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basis is known for significant attrition from (about a third to one quarter) from fifth grade to senior year. This is result of weeding out under-performing students in order to achieve high test scores. Basis is also known for its extended homework hours and emphasis on standardized tests.

No thank you.

You pulled those stats out of thin air. Yes, Basis is a grinder school just like every other private school with excellent college acceptance results (I like how everyone is trying to change the topic when they don’t have anything to say re: BASIS’s college acceptance results).  But little to no turnover at the higher grades as students and parents know what they’re looking for going into high school. [/quote]

I did not pull them out of the air. I found them on Wikipedia.[/quote]

If BIM put their enrollment stats (total and by grade) on their website like other area privates, people could track that.  But they don't so they can't.[/quote]

Really? Please do tell which school talks about the attrition rate from 5th grade to 12th grade. [/quote]

Of course nobody talks about attrition rate, but BIM is not transparent at all. They don't seem to share a school profile on their website, where most schools share their enrollment data (which would give insight to any possible attrition).

Here is what google found for me looking up a few schools, which all share their enrollment data:
