[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find threads like this very frustrating because there ARE middle schools in DC which offer the range of experiences people claim to be looking for when criticizing BASIS. The only thing they are lacking is a large cohort of high performing students. If you hate BASIS, send your kid to SH or E-H! They have good facilities, good extracurriculars, etc, etc. I think charter schools played a critical role in getting parents to stay in DC, but I also think that now there's no question that there are a bunch of DCPS middle schools who would thrive if charter schools ceased to exist.[/quote]

Our IB is McKinley. Growing up, I went to a middle school where you fought basically every couple of days for the first month or so to position yourself in the pecking order. And if you didn’t fight, you simply got beat. McKinley really had the same vibe in the year of our lord two thousand twenty three (I have to assume it’s better, because my kids really due process their emotions so much better than my cohort did so it must rub off). So no. It isn’t worth the risk. [/quote]
