[quote=Anonymous]I've lost track of the Booster vs. Hater classifications on this thread. Simple. Many kids drop out of BASIS after 7th and 8th grades because the program works best for the younger students. Also, high SES familes who are desperate for a single viable public MS option, particularly from Cap Hill, often have planned ahead to pay for private HS, or are confident they can test into Walls. Many parents instruct 7th and 8th graders to gut it out at BASIS so the family can hang on in the city. For their part, the kids are on board with their job of making the best of the BASIS experience, which only takes families so far. [/quote]
