[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son has been at Basis for 3 years and we are very happy with the school.  The HOS has been here since before we started and we really like him, not sure what the beef is all about from one of the PP.  The teachers have been really great and they really teach to the students’ specific needs in terms of advanced learning.  I can honestly say we haven’t had a single teacher yet that we felt badly about.  Our only gripe is the physical footprint of the school is fairly small for about 700 students. The school started with way less students, and have grown a lot without expanding its facilities.  They also don’t have a full sports field but our son does sports outside of school anyway.[/quote]

BIM was supposed to expand to occupy the entire building that they lease there, not just the half they outfitted for a school (it was an office building before).  Many, many promises were made and broken about that space: it would be built out once enrollment reached 500-600, all kinds of fantastic facilities would be built there like a real-size theater and gym, etc.

But lots of money has been lost just getting the school out of the red.  The current owners don't seem interested in dropping in the big bucks that realizing the original promise would take, not on top of the rest.

FWIW, the only way to know the current enrollment would be to take last spring's yearbook and actually count the students.  The school never publishes a figure.[/quote]
