[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what happened to this thread, but as someone who is considering leaving BASIS for private, I will say that language instruction and college placement are NOT my main considerations. I am looking for deeper learning and a happier school environment for my DC. [/quote]  Issues with language instruction and college placement at BASIS are emblematic of a general lack of respect for individual preferences, talents and learning styles in the program.  [b]If you can afford private, go.[/b]  A school is only so happy when your kid is on an AP prep conveyer belt and teacher turnover is quite high.  We can't afford a non-sectarian private but found a parochial school in NW where my kid seems much happier.  The writing instruction at our new school is twice as good as at BASIS, but STEM instruction isn't nearly as strong.  We're glad to be on a campus with good facilities.  Good luck, OP.

This is true of every DCPS and charter school in DC. It doesn't take an overwrought paragraph to distill down that point. [/quote]
