Look at the facts.

The last 10-year report for Washington Latin, the nearest competitor to Basis shows these numbers for disabled kids in grades 5-8.

Reading MGP: 33.9
Math MPG: 43.6

Lots of unsupported opinions here by people who don't have kids at Basis and haven't done their research.  Look at the data and talk to parents at Basis.

Oh ffs.  I have a "smart disabled kid" and I would not enroll them in Basis based on what I know now.  But keep trying.  The report (and posters here) acknowledge that Basis does well with SOME kids with disabilities.  But other data show it's not supporting all the kids that it should be.  You are quite ignorant about the world of special needs (law and actuality) so maybe you should take a seat.  BTW don't pretend you're doing any favors to the "smart" disabled kids at Basis who are doing well.  Just because our kids are doing well at one point in time doesn't mean that can't change; and an atmosphere of hostility to special needs impacts all kids. [/quote]
