[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the midst of all criticism and bashing, let’s talk a moment to congratulate the Basis graduates for a very solid performance and wish them great success!! Thanks for the teachers as well! For all Basis students, you have the grit to make it! Truly not for everyone!

“ Based on to the 2021 U.S. News & World Report college ranking data,

100% accepted to a four-year college or university      
97% accepted to Top 100 Best National Universities      
85% accepted to a Top 11 Public University      
60% accepted to Top 25 Best National Universities      
22% accepted to Top 10 Undergraduate Research Institutions  
16% accepted to Top 15 Best National Universities      
12% accepted to an Ivy League school      
UVA, ranked #4 Public Schools, accepted 40% of our applicants compared to 28% of all in-state applicants. 
Additionally, William & Mary ranked #11 in Public Schools Nationally, accepted 50% of our applicants.”[/quote]

So they all got into their safety schools, only 60% made it anywhere remotely elite, and a handful hit the top tier.  Why is that exceptional among DC area privates?

Next year's senior class will also be noticeably smaller since their HS pipeline has really sprung a leak after this bunch.  That's what happens when droves of 8th graders don't continue.[/quote]

It is a strong result (congrats to the kids, parents and teachers!) Not excepcional, though, and they need to improve. However, the results show that many of the super negative claims posted in this thread are exaggerations. The school has its issues, but the environment is conducive to hard work and focus. Not all kids adjust and the school does not cater to individual needs as it ideally should, but the place is a very good option for some. Out there there are no perfect schools. It is about leveraging the strong points and there are strong points in the community. [/quote]
