[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, the inveterate boosters are the worst on these threads.

BASIS admins can do no wrong.

C'mon, the program doesn't go from around 130 mostly bright and hard-working 5th graders to four dozen seniors without a whole bunch of families finding BASIS lacking.[/quote]

Basis parent here. There's plenty of things not to like or not to like about Basis. [b]But I would argue it's a bit early to claim this is the permanent trend[/b]- its first class of 5th graders only graduated last year.[/quote]

What are you smoking, PP?  It is a permanent trend, by design, not a secret.  The AZ campuses ensure that most of the middle school students don't stay for high school.  Somewhere between half and two-thirds of the middle school students have been gone by high school at the original campuses since the 90s.  That's the BASIS model.  The franchise gets away with weeding out most of their public school students by 9th grade everywhere they operate. [/quote]
