[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you're still there, I suggest that you seek out one or two former BASIS families of top students who didn't stay for the high school experience before enrolling if you get a spot.

Before we enrolled, we only spoke to families who loved BASIS without Deal as their IB option, the willingness to move to the burbs, or, apparently, the resources for privates.

Not going in with our eyes open came back to bite us. [/quote]

Last year, only a handful of kids went to Walls or private for 9th grade.  That will likely happen again this year.

We have a top student in 8th grade and are staying even though we have several other options.

The Basis curriculum is great and the school is well-run.  However, the teaching can be a uneven.  That, of course, happens at other schools as well.

We certainly agree that the school is not for everyone.  To see if there is a good fit, do your own research and make sure your kid does the shadow day and talks to current students.

Good luck![/quote]
