[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We chose Basis over S-H for our kid.  Basis only tracks for math, but the cohort as a whole has more high achievers than S-H.  Plus under-performers at Basis will eventually be pushed out.

We’re just in 5th grade, but so far my child is on distinguished honor roll (top 5% of class) with virtually no effort.

No regrets about our decision, though I certainly hope S-H attracts more top performers.  [b]But I put my kid over ideology (or the future of my property value).

If S-H tracked across subjects I might have made a different decision.  [/quote]

One of those logical parents.  Kudos.[/quote]

This is a remarkably ignorant comment, even for this board  :roll: [/quote]

+1. I mean the PP (I think it's her) is thrilled about BASIS weeding out under-performers rather than teaching the children that actually enroll. How dare the laggard parents expect the school will want all their students to succeed.[/quote]

Another BASIS 5th grade parent. They work pretty hard to encourage and support kids who are struggling. I think the idea that they intentionally weed out students is an exaggeration.[/quote]
