[quote=Anonymous]Your kid is 10. Do you think you know what or who they are going to be in HS? I sure didn't at 10. Respectfully, it is dumb to wonder why kids would change schools for HS, especially in a city with school choice and application HS. Kids leave BASIS in 7th because 6th grade is the first time comps are given and it can be stressful. 50% of their grade is one test at the end. 30% of Tri 2 grade is pre-comps. That's a lot of pressure on one (or two) tests. I assume you knew that going in because BASIS tells everyone at every opportunity. P.S. If the parents are freaking out in 5th, I can't wait to see the sh*t show when they get to the real grades.[/quote]
