The extent to which the community of Potomac parents is triggered by Basis posts warms my heart every time. Bravo OP.

Popcorn, check.

BASIS posts never fail to bring out the insecure parents at other schools who have little impulse control and cannot stop themselves from responding.

How do you figure?

It's a paid service, they pay for the rankings, and enlist families to post positive all the time on Niche. It's a game.

I feel like Mclean has its own sense of community. Thus the school may be well known in Mclean but not other areas yet.

There is no disputing the Niche rankings are significant.

Well, the rankings don’t mean that this is a good school or one I would ever consider for my kids. But since they are under-enrolled and desperate for more students maybe there are people out there who see a #1 ranking hyped by the school and don’t know anything else about private schools in the area so they will take a look. Good luck Basis boosters!

These rankings are truly meaningless.

10th best private school in America! Seventh best college prep school in America? This is over-the-top incredible.

Is this school new?

I doubt this one will last long once the admins notice it.

Are you saying that basis independent is posting false claims in their official Instagram page? You can visit Niche. These are accurate claims.
