[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the factors causing more students to stay for high school? Did BASIS address past problems and improve in ways that students/parents find more appealing? Or does it have to do with other school options now somehow being less desirable than previously?  What schools were BASIS MS students often switching to for HS previously? Or a combination of factors or other factors causing increased popularity in the high school?  [/quote]

I wonder too.  Maybe (my guesses):  BASIS did a really good job with distance learning and transitioned seamlessly back to In Person learning this year.  So parents have trust/confidence in the administration and teachers (and saw how bad the alternative was); more and more parents are self-selecting out of lottery and parents only lottery their kids in who they truly think can handle the challenging curriculum (= greater percentage of kids who actually can handle it); bad recent rap SWW has gotten during Covid (terrible at distance learning; not great transition back to in person; watering down of entrance requirements so caliber of student body not as much of a known quantity).
