[quote=Anonymous]Basis’ teacher turnover isn’t higher than other charters - that’s just the way they are. It has about the same or better turnover than the MSs it is compared to most frequently. The stats are in the annual reports posted by the PCSB.

I believe that people who come to Basis from a DCPS or private/parochial wide up more dissatisfied than those who come from charters.

Most charters - not all - don’t have gyms, big play spaces, libraries, cafeterias with windows, full complement of sports and extracurriculars. Thru may have 1-2 of these but not all.

Basis does succeed in bringing out intense feelings in people and some of the complaints are dated. It has as many sports teams as other charters. They compete and win in the charter league in several sports. Is that enough for some- of course not.

What I find amazing is people who send their kid and are surprised. The school is transparent about all of this. Before Covid they always have tons of opportunities to tour.

Charters are meant to be different - not replicate a traditional public. If a charter’s model or curriculum isn’t distinct in some way they have no reason to exist. [/quote]
