[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were all set to go to BASIS but ended up not going. I spoke with a lot of parents at various events and the kids really were coming from all over. Charter (Latin, 2 Rivers), publics, especially one's with mediocre middle schools (Brent), Catholic.  I don't remember anyone mentioning a private, but of course my sampling is relatively small. I was really impressed with the diversity of the group, from all over the city and a lot parents originating from other countries. I think that diversity is one of the coolest things about the school. I would have loved for our family to be part of that, but alas it wasn't to be. [/quote]

PP, would you mind sharing why you chose not to enroll in BASIS?[/quote]

We developed reasons to sincerely lack any confidence in their ability to deal with special needs. By special needs, I mean a child who is fully capable of handling the work intellectually, but needs other supports and accomodations. Fprtunately we were able to return to our child's elementary where there isn't enough academic rigor (very advanced child academically), but we know it to be a safe, loving environment that truly appreciates our child, despite the disability. We are still really sad, though, because we were all looking forward to the academic rigor (especially in science and math) and the kids seem like a great group. We will have to be trying to figure something out for middle school asap since our needs are particular. At least this year, though, I cam send my child to school without having a sick feeling ithe pit of my stomach every day.  BASIS seems quite impressive, as long as your child can fit their mold without anything spilling out to one side or another. [/quote]
