[quote=Anonymous]DS got in to BOTH Basis and Latin 3 years ago. We chose Basis for its location and academic rigor. Still love it. I now have two kids there. My opinion about college acceptances is that it is an important factor in our choosing Basis. I have an Ivy degree and have been home with my kids these last 10 years. When they all hit 5th grade, I will go back to work. I believe my degree (yes, it is symbolic, but it also represents the fact that I had a work ethic that got me into a good college) will give me an edge when applying for a job. So, practically speaking, where they might end up in college weighs in.  Both my children are happy and thriving in school. They both have rich extra curricular activities. They go to bed at 9:30pm on school nights with ample chill time. I do want to say that if you want to send your kid to Basis, be prepared to back off (let your kids have room to learn how to self care). Many parents cannot handle Basis, because they get stressed out and project all their stress onto their kids. My opinion is that it cannot be a child's job to take care of how their parents feel.  My children appereciate the space we give them and do better at school when we believe in them. [/quote]
