[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid went to an Ivy from Walls just last year and didn't find the environment highly competitive. Didn't take algebra (at another charter) until 8th grade. Took no APs until 10th. Took just 6 APs in all. Good point about lackluster AP Physics at BASIS. We passed on BASIS because of their weak ECs, language instruction, facilities and reports of bullying leadership from friends at the high school. Think twice about BASIS for an academic star if you have a viable alternative. [/quote] Well, our alternative is Cardozo, and I have a kid for whom very accelerated math and science will be exciting and engaging, and the focus on executive functioning and independence and planning and no screens is all very appealing to me. so we are going to try it for middle school. Definitely open toswitching for high school, if we have options. [b]But it doesn't seem like a bad place to spend the dreaded middle school years[/b] [/quote] Generally true, but not always. Some academic high fliers become miserable in the BASIS middle school.[/quote]
