[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK but I didn't come under crazy academic pressure like BASIS students do, taking algebra in 6th or 7th grades and multiple AP exams from 9th grade. Come to think of it, neither did my eldest (Walls grad). We went to Ivies anyway.[/quote] Maybe it's been a while since you've been at Walls but those kids are in a far more competitive environment than BASIS kids which I think means the academic pressure is greater at Walls. By the end of senior year, Walls kids are taking more AP tests with a good number taking more than BASIS kids even by the end of junior year. BASIS middle school is definitely more rigorous than other middle schools. The same cannot be said about the high school. They only offer one type of Physics AP - the easiest one.[/quote]
