My other question is to the other Tucson parents (or others if this thread has branched out to other Basis parents in Arizona). Why do you keep your child in such a high pressure atmosphere? Are you planning to have your child stay only for middle school? Why is the Scottsdale branch of Basis (and a few others perhaps), where one can assume the parent has a choice of good public and private schools for their child, still thriving in Scottsdale? Good marketing? It almost seems like the choice has been made to go with what you know, even with the negatives, rather than take a chance on another school and have worse but different problems. Not necessarily a bad choice, if you kids can handle the structure and pace.[/quote]

Tucson parent here. We have our kid in 5th grade. Lots of stress and in my opinion too much content too early. But major pro is absolutely awesome student body, culture of academic achievement (nerd pride), and above average to excellent teachers. Add to this a real lack of alternatives in Tucson for middle school and you have our decision to remain for the time being. There is a "gifted and talented" high school with a good reputation, though you have to test in. That is an option for 9th grade. Or private school.

Not sure what is going on in Scottsdale.[/quote]
