[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why people are so afraid of using BASIS as a middle school option ONLY and leaving it in 9th grade. I agree that an intense BASIS high school is not for most of the kids who are still doing great with a BASIS middle school. Yes, "just" passing every year through 8th at BASIS and then flourishing at a less rigorous high school (SWW or private) isn't ideal, but a lot of families would cut off their right hand to be in that situation. You basically will have a kid who finds high school "easy", thrive with top grades, and get into a great college. I think using BASIS to meet a student's different needs (help organizing, academic prep, etc) for high school is great. Everyone cannot be in their 5% club. In fact, literally 95% of BASIS students cannot be in that club. That does not make it a bad fit for those 95%.[/quote]
