[quote=Anonymous]For every comment on here finding fault with BASIS, there’s another comment on this thread or a different thread where people are singing its praises or eager to find out if their child will get off the waitlist.  BASIS is clearly great for some and terrible for others.  It’s important and helpful to know what generally makes it a good fit or not to the extent folks are trying to decide for their own child.  But I’m the end everyone has their own priorities and those are not right or wrong.  Just different.

But for a moment, I’d like to get back to the original question on here regarding success at BASIS.  How can parents help their children? Are the parents quizzing their kids?  Do students ever/often form study groups together?  When students receive disappointing “pre-comps” scores what specific measures are taken to ensure they improve by the end of year comps?  How much do pre-comps count for the course grade?  How is the “90s Club” or any other measure of success presented to the students to help them stay motivated and focused?  I heard the school has a spirit week.  Do students feel like they are “in it together” or do they feel more competitive with one another?  Are the most successful students generally successful from the beginning, or is it common for “stragglers” to get the help they need and rise to the top?  [/quote]
