[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS parents tend to want to believe that the program is the cream of the crop, on a par with the best public middle schools in other big US cities. It isn't, never mind that BASIS no longer comes close to clearing its 5th grade WL. Hearing this makes some of them defensive, really defensive. It's an old story. Move on. [/quote] This BASIS parent believes BASIS is the strongest academic option for middle school in the city, if you’re not going to pay for private. Pretty sure I’m not wrong about that. Ask yourself why you care so much what I think. [/quote] Not the PP you're responding to but I agree, strongest option in DC public for MS if you're OK with paying/hustling to supplement for outside enrichment. Not necessarily the strongest option for HS though. We left BASIS for Walls for our eldest for better facilities and teaching (now at GW for some classes). We're hoping that our younger child will follow. We don't care for the HoS, lack of community and narrow selection of AP subjects at BASIS. The waitlist gets longer but the experience doesn't really improve. [/quote]
