[quote=Anonymous]The reality is that you can do all the research there is to do on BASIS without knowing how your kid(s) will react to their middle school experience there, or the prospect of staying for HS. You also can’t plan for who will be in charge at BASIS year to year, since the leadership can change. When my eldest realized that none of her close friends would be returning for 9th grade, she staunchly refused to stay, despite her high GPA and strong STEM interests. Apparently, her friend group was what had made BASIS bearable for her. As for what makes applying to private high schools challenging w/out support from BASIS, talk to parents whose middle schools actively market their 8th graders to high schools. I would include the best DCPS middle schools in this category of school.[/quote]
