[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does every assume that the children coming into Basis are not very bright? Most of the parents I talked to say the reason that they are sending their to Basis, is because they are not being challenged. [b]I think Basis may have pulled the cream of the crop[/b] from all over DC.[/quote]

Doubtful.  The ones that are in public school at all are more likely to already be at Latin or Deal.  It's nice to have BASIS to add to the mix, and it will be nice to have the DCI to add to the mix, but the fantasy that BASIS should become some sort of MS magnet equivalent of TJ is just that - a fantasy.

You might be surprised.  From what I've seen, Basis is receiving kids from Latin and many of the other better schools around the area, public and private.[/quote]

My impression as well.  I know of a handful of strong performers going to BASIS from Latin, JKLMs, etc.[/quote]

Probably; BASIS Tucson or whatever is ranked very high nationally.  I'm sure lots of people are willing to take the gamble that BASIS DC will achieve that quickly.  The model would not be for my kid.  I am curious though--is there any literature from students who have actually matriculated from the BASIS program?  I would be interested to hear  what they have to say.  Students and families, not founders.[/quote]

There are reviews of BASIS Tucson on Great Schools, PP.[/quote]
