[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I have seen, BASIS goes above and beyond, where it comes to meeting the needs of kids.  They offered STARS tutoring, they are offering extra reading and math labs, they are bending over backwards to bring kids up to speed.  I believe they also have specialists for special needs, a behavioral specialist, and a psychologist.

Let's remember the PCSB unanimously rejected BASIS for expansion and for reasons like not meeting the needs of all kids.  How can an entire board miss the "fact" that BASIS goes above and beyond ...and bends over backwards?  Unless of course the school is really not doing that, which they are not.

BASIS had a lot of support Day 1 and even before.  I can't remember a school generating so much enthusiasm as BASIS did in DC.  But they really weren't what they appeared to be....and we're all now realizing this.  They're at most a mediocre school who's been clever enough to cherry pick students to maintain their stats. In some respects they're amongst the worst in DC or else the board would not have granted  expansion requests to so many other schools.  I give BASIS DC a (D-).  I would not recommend this school to anyone.    [/quote]
