Just go to the open house. You will get a tour then.

FWIW, was not impressed with the facilities or admin at the main campus.


Me neither. Didn’t matter because we didn’t get a spot but academics seemed weak.


To me it seemed like the humanities were quite strong but the math and science weak.


Then it is Basis you seek…


BASIS is the right choice.

Looking at 8th grade, after kids have been at BASIS and Latin for a few years, BASIS is stronger in both English and math.

ELA 4+

BASIS 84.4
Latin 2nd 72.4
Latin Cooper 66.0

Math 4+

BASIS 78.5
Latin 2nd 63.3
Latin Cooper 41.5

When my now 7th grader was in 4th, Latin scheduled most of the shadow days to take place before April 1.


And if it wasn’t “most,” it was a sizable number.


I have a current 5th grader and we were only offered a shadow day after we received an offer. Maybe they do it for everyone but that seems very disruptive and pointless since so few kids actually get a seat.


+1

I teach at a school that is seen as highly desireable and even after the lottery results we had so many shadow kids it was incredibly disruptive.

The 2nd Street campus is old. The Cooper campus is so new there are still boxes waiting to be unpacked.



New but small and sharing with YY. At least the main campus has a gym and library. Copper is very, very limited with academic offerings and EC and sports.

The main campus is better but it is nit saying much because it also is not great.


Yeah, this is just all factually wrong. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about, so maybe sit this thread out.
