[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former BASIS family here. Some might even call our kid “washed out”, or “pushed out”. Bright but not able to recover and teach themself high level math when their teacher at a critical year turned out to be a fraud and had to leave mid-year. Has an English and physics teacher also crash out midyear. The school didn’t help kids adapt. We paid for tutors out of our own pockets . We paid in money and our kid paid in time away from friends and other activities. It was killing our kid’s spirit.

We moved to MoCo. House poor now - but not tutor poor. After a year of middle school transition and rebuilding confidence our kiddo is now thriving.

In an application program at a MoCo public high school now. Rigorous classes, opportunity to write much more, and still take rigorous science. Huge choice in classes and paths. So many clubs and electives. Big homecoming dances, fun sporting events. Our kid is joyful.

They acknowledge that BASIS gave them a strong foundation in chemistry and biology, and exposure to math concepts ahead of many classmates. But in some ways BASIS harmed them. Bad memories even borderline traumatic from trying hard to keep up in the classes where teaching was baaaaaaaad and the school administration mostly gaslit students about it or just kinda said suck it up. (There were some excellent teachers too and a few strong counselors). [/quote]

Maybe you should have done your research first.
