[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basis a chain charter school that just kicks out low performing students whenever they wish, usually after count day. A non-title 1 school, yes they work soooo hard.[/quote]

Of course - for many this is a feature not a bug. It’s not about Basis being so great in the abstract. It’s that a critical mass of families have free access to an academic environment that meets their kids where they are at, albeit imperfectly.

Some of us have experienced the converse of classrooms weighed down by the need to (understandably and rightly) cater to high-need students and accommodate huge ability and behavioral gaps.

Basis isn’t perfect, but it’s a decidedly less chaotic environment for my kid, and oddly much less stress, compared to the HRCS (but still Title 1) we came from. Not for everyone, but it’s been great for our family.

And no, I don’t think than necessarily makes Basis “better” than any other school in the abstract —- just well-suited for my kid (and many others).[/quote]
