[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the reason BASIS parents get so defensive when posters present data showing that BASIS isn’t “advanced” when compared to other schools, e.g. Walls and MD and VA suburban schools, is that BASIS’s reputation for being oh-so-advanced is literally the only thing it has going for it. The building sucks, the extracurricular are a joke and the administration is awful. People put up with all of that because they think their kid is getting an amazingly advanced education.

Are you getting a better education than say, Elliot Hine? Of course you are. But don’t try to pretend that BASIS DC is better than Walls or top suburban high schools. It’s clearly and measurably not. [/quote]

No, that isn't it for me.  i don't care that much about how advanced it is.  I'm actually happy that my child is in a lower math.  What I love is the tight community.  The cohort is amazing.  Such a happy group of supportive kids.  I know some parents do really care about college choices, but personally I don't. My family is all in education at various levels, and the only concern I have about college choice is that my child chooses a place that will make them happy and eager to learn.  Basis does that now.  I want the right pick, not the "best" pick.  I do have almost the opposite feeling about grad schools; it really does matter which you choose.[/quote]
