I taught at BASIS DC, lasted one year in that joyless building. Get back to us after several years with no library, gym, performance space, academic tracking outside math or outdoor space and several different heads, wealthy guy. Most of the strongest students are leaving before HS.[/quote]

Actually my kid's freshman class has retained almost all of the kids who started in Algebra 1 in 5th grade. There are also plenty of students from wealthy families as well as middle class families and as well as poor families. It is very diverse.

BASIS is not perfect but I am satisfied with what he has learned the past 5 years. Freshman year is going well as well. Sure I wish the building was bigger and that there were more extra-curricular activities (but there is till a good amount of activities that my kid has participated in over the years there). As for activities we also do activities outside of school seeing as this is DC and there are a lot of activities here :roll: [/quote]

No, they are not "plenty" of BASIS students from "wealthy families."  There are hardly any. There are a good many students from upper middle class families where parents earn less than around 200K combined.  [/quote]

Oh, the horrors!

Well in our experience there are plenty of wealthy kids in my book.[/quote]

In your book, but not DC's.  Plenty of parents in this town earn 250K, 300K, 400K combined,.  They send their children to Sidwell, St. Albans, GDS, Holton Arms etc. not the BASIS cave.  [/quote]

So those of us who make $100, 000 to $200,000 are not wealthy enough for you??? I don't need to hang out with snobs like you who probably voted for Republicans and for Trump :roll: [/quote]
