[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many 5th graders?  135?  How many 9th graders?  60?

Most of the students may indeed be happy, but PP is not wrong.

That's how it works. Most of the middle students leave before high school. That's what you signed up for. Basis doesn't track in middle school other than for math.  They're very clear about this.

I don't think the school is trying to make kids miserable and grind them into submission, that's ridiculous. It's challenging. Kids have to be organized. It's not a good fit for every kid. Those that want a challenge love it. [/quote]

Come on, they're absolutely trying to shed certain students. Not most students, but a good many.

My kid got straight As at Basis, qualified for Johns Hopkins CTY with SATs in the 600s after 6th grade, tested into the most advanced middle school math. But he didn't love the program, not by a long shot. He loves attending a school with playing fields, performing arts, serious sports, a strong music program etc.[/quote]

You again?  Why do you bother posting here?[/quote]
