[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blessed Sacrament would definitely be a hard pass for this BASIS family—you could not pay me to enroll my kid there.  And I write as someone who acknowledges that teacher quality at BASIS is mixed.

But glad it works for you.

And, no, 50 percent of BASIS doesn’t “wash up.”  But potentially 50 percent find it stressful.

I actually have the audited #s by grade from 17-18 to 21-22. We were considering BASIS and wanted to see actual data, as opposed to the usual DCUM opinions masquerading as fact. I built a spreadsheet so I could see the actual drops by year. For data running SY17-18 through SY 21-22, the highlights and how we interpreted them are:

[list]On average more kids lost as rising 9th than any other year (28%). These kids are not washing out, they are selecting different high schools. We didn't see this as a negative as we will be considering options for HS regardless of our MS choice. This drops to 24% if you exclude SY 19-20[/list]
[list]Second greatest average loss is rising 7th graders 20%. This made sense to us since Comps start in 6th grade and it is when kids either pass, repeat a grade or leave. This feels a lot like kids "washing out". That drops to 17% if you exclude SY19-20[/list]
[list]SY 19-20 data is an outlier across all years and creates havoc with the data. That's Covid and we know that enrollments were impacted across the board at all schools[/list]
