[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is an acid test: what percentage of their students have special needs?

There is no reason that stunents with LDs, ADD/ADHD, high functioning autism/Asperger's, CP, etc. should not be successful in that environment with the proper supports and accommodations. If they are not there at the same level as similar schools, that is highly significant.[/quote]

I know of multiple students who have special needs who required IEPs at their previous schools and who are doing so fabulously at BASIS that they do not even need an IEP. One of them is mine. Enough with the BASIS bashing :roll: [/quote]

New poster here: we also have a student who moved from an IEP to a 504 plan at BASIS. The structure of BASIS is such that we (parents, teachers and Special Ed staff) felt that that the old IEP was not necessary anymore. The 504 plan still allows for extra time on exams, teachers not taking off for spelling, writing assignments done at home on a computer, etc. Our DC is doing great and we are very happy with the school.
