[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle school science is much more serious at BASIS than in any other DC public school all the way from 5th to 8th grades. That said, some of what you get at BASIS is luck of the draw. There are weak middle school science teachers, generally right out of grad school, who only last a year or two (if that, MS sci teachers have been known to leave mid year after crying in front of classes). There are also rowdy kids in middle school science classes who can't handle the curriculum who can be disruptive - you need some luck on the element your kid lands in. You also need luck in having the kid adapt well to a building without outdoor space or enough natural light or recess time. Some kids don't thrive in the bad building, no matter what BASIS  is trying to teach them. [/quote]

Make sure your kid tours the building on Apr 27 if they haven’t already. If they are really bothered by the building, best to know now.

My kid toured both BASIS and Latin 2nd Street, and still chose BASIS as his number one choice, so clearly the bad building doesn’t bother everyone.[/quote]
