[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not pull my kid from Basis for parochial school in a million years, but I respect that parochial school is a preferred option for some families.

If I were IB for Deal perhaps I would opt for it over Basis.

But my kids are presently extremely happy at Basis, thriving in fact.  If they weren’t we would go private or move.  But we presently have no reason to fix what isn’t broken.[/quote]

+1. The most valid criticism people should have for BASIS is that it's a very bad fit for about half of the kids who are admitted.  The strongest critics here are people for whom the school was a very bad fit.  That's fine, and I respect that.  What I don't respect is the incessant need of those parents to trash the school or even try to abolish it.  The school is a great fit for some kids.  Why do you so strongly want to take a good fit away from those kids just because it was the wrong fit for your kid?  It has been a great fit for my kids, and they don't find it depressing or overwhelming at all.  I'm thrilled that BASIS is there for the people who want it, but there are numerous other options for the people who would be a bad fit for BASIS.  [/quote]

Where are the results of an anonymous parent survey regarding the quality of the program at BASIS DC?  I used to work at a public school in MoCo where school satisfaction surveys were not only done every year or two, the results were, and are, public.  You can see them on school profile web site pages.  Claim what you want here, pro and con.  Where's the data?  Why should we believe any of the drivel about BASIS on this thread or any other?
