[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you sent your kid to a MS with weak facilities, enrichment and extra curriculars and teachers and staff who aren't paid well enough to stick around for many years.

If he were at a MS in Fairfax or maybe MoCo or Arlington, he'd have a good library and computer lab to haunt in search of inspiration. He's probably have access to a robotics lab, band and orchestra sessions during class time, a serious chess club, debate club, a range of languages to choose from, school musicals to get involved with etc. His teachers and school counselor would probably be more experienced than at BASIS.

BASIS was too short on fun, staff cohesion and inspiration for us. I'm an MIT grad who works in STEM.  [/quote]

Obviously, you don't know much about Basis DC, Mr/Ms. MIT grad who works in STEM.  Maybe in your day kids hung out in the library and computer lab, but I don't think that this is a "thing" nowadays.  Moreover, kids in DC can walk to libraries and--breaking news--many even have their own computers.  Maybe not where you live?  In fact, Basis kids on Capitol Hill can stroll over to the Library of Congress, the largest library in the world, and use that if they wish.

Here is a link if people are interested about activities at Basis:

One update from the above: USN&WR recently ranked Basis DC the number #1 public middle school in DC.

Another powerful critique from the anti-BASIS crowd...[/quote]

let’s be real. Basis paid its way to be number one on the list. And that list is fake. Everyone knows it. 
I’m not anti-basis. I don’t even care enough about it to look it up. That’s how little interest I have in the school. Can you imagine? A dc parent who has zero interest in the USN and WR “number one school”? Charters aren’t for me but I wish your children ALL the best- seriously.

Yet you care enough to post here.
