Lots of Aspies should do well at a school like Basis.

Absolutely. Basis has a mission to serve SN and Aspie kids. This is what makes it a successful school.

By its very definition, it's primary audience is kids on spectrum, and ADHD kids who have few other options. [/quote]

It also has a mission to serve kids with Cerebral Palsy, low-functioning autism, and Downs.  Why?  Because it's a public school.  And as much as a few tedious boosters would like to imagine otherwise, it is not selective or exclusive.[/quote]

"By definition" - and by that definition, then so does:

...as does EVERY DCPS SCHOOL.  So why the repeated singling out and hysterics directed at BASIS?

Again, anyone who knows anything knows there is no one-size-fits-all solution for SN students.  Some SN students will find BASIS to be a good fit, and some parents have made that decision to enroll their SN student at BASIS, and that's fine.  Others might not find BASIS to be a good fit, just as they might not find, say Latin, KIPP or many of the other schools listed to be a good fit.  Same with students who are not SN.  And if it's not a good fit, there's a long list and there are plenty of choices.

Get off of it already.  It is you who is tedious with this continual nonsense.
