[quote=Anonymous]NP here...  I'm not sure what the actual demographics at BASIS are, but  from what I've seen it's probably 40some percent white, 40some percent AA and the remainder Asian, Latino etc.  I won't gamble on guessing SES but I know there are quite a few high-SES families there along with some FARMS and many in-between (like us).  Seems to be a nicely diverse mix at BASIS.   As for the PP who suggested there's no technology at BASIS, that's not right.  DC is in robotics and has submitted many papers written on the computer, they have an "e-backpack" system and other infrastructure for electronic submittals - and you can tell the kids who are used to doing everything on the calculator vs. the ones who are strong at math facts, mental math and doing calculations longhand - the ones used to calculators are the ones struggling.  You have to get the fundamentals down first before leaping to calculators - it's pretty obvious that some of the other schools have not done a good job there.[/quote]
