Per the head of school last year, they will offer seats in older grades if and only if the total number of students not returning (seniors plus attrition) exceeds something like 135 students.
I didn’t realize they offer any seats. Isn’t their position the curriculum is so advanced that they can’t backfill seats?

Hopefully it’s the kids who were a huge PITA in 5th grade.
LOL. Sadly those kids are returning. Hopefully they will wash out after this year and be gone.
In our experience the PITA kids dont leave, and Basis falls head over heels to drag these kids through, and they scrape by.
DS just finished 8th, leaving for private because we are sick of his grades PITA kids. HS may have its own share of problems, but we are happy to get away from them
Hmmm, no offense, but maybe your kid is one the PITA kids.
nope, he was the shy introvert who was forever picked on, but thanks
Sorry to hear that. Hope there is no bullying at his new school.
In our experience, bullying is pretty minimal at BASIS. Plus, kids get bullied for things like not being in the math club or reading YA fiction instead of Jane Austen.
Still bullying, right?

I am sorry your kids experienced that and I am happy you found something that will work for your family. FWIW, whatever PITA kids were at BASIS is minor compared to most schools in DC where perverted "equity" allows all manner of behavioral mischief.

What was distinct about these 5th graders?
What does this question even mean?
