[quote=Anonymous]The dyed in the wool boosters on BASIS threads are clearly middle school parents. By the time HS rolls around, the argument that BASIS knocks it out of the park academically for a school that can't offer selective admissions is weak, since by 9th grade each student in the cohort could have been culled several times over, after 6th, 7th and 8th grades. 
                                 
I work as a private admissions counselor, with BASIS DC clients. I sense growing concern among HS parents of top students that changing times in elite college admissions doesn't bode well for BASIS as long scoring high on multiple APs by the end of junior year remains the bedrock of the students' experience. PSAT success is probably neither here nor there, but the overall trend is clear: BASIS DC will need something of a reboot to continue to fulfill its mission of Ivy Plus admissions success. There's talk of the franchise hiring a HoS from outside the system in the hopes of making the HS experience more competitive in the Ivy Plus rat race. The current HoS seems to have done a fine job in making the MS experience a better-rounded one, but that's about it.
