Basis has just as many reviews as Sidwell and more than GDS. Pretty good for a school that opened in 2016.

Unlike BIM parents, you don’t find Sidwell and GDS parents rushing to every other random DCUM post to shamelessly promote their Niche rankings. BIM’s desperation for attention, relevance, and respect is sad to watch.

The Sidwell parents always participate in these silly threads. They cannot resist the BIM poster. And I hope none of them ever stop because it is so entertaining to watch.

What topic? Are you saying there aren’t multiple posts from Sidwell parents on the first page of this thread?

Are you this sensitive in real life? Maybe the BIM poster really should lay off for awhile to spare your feelings.

Are you still this hurt that Sidwell rejected your mediocre, talentless children? It’s been years, Karen, let it go. 😊

Typical Sidwell parent.

DP. Sidwell kids have displayed terrible sportsmanship this fall for the 3rd year in a row. The students were yelling out obnoxious things and the coach was allowing it. We have played so many teams in league and out of league and never witnessed such overt bad sportsmanship. I have seen all I need to see. I would be horrified if my children behaved this way.

No one cares what gets posted here except triggered Sidwell parents.

Here is what ChatGPT says about BIM, which is consistent with what parents and kids say as well as the data:

BASIS Independent McLean is known for its rigorous academic program and strong emphasis on STEM education. The school often receives high marks for its curriculum, which includes advanced coursework and a focus on critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Additionally, it offers a range of extracurricular activities and support for college preparation.

Parents often appreciate the school’s commitment to a well-rounded education, including arts and humanities alongside its strong math and science offerings. The faculty is typically experienced and dedicated, fostering a challenging yet supportive learning environment.

As with any school, individual experiences can vary, so it's beneficial to visit, talk to current families, and consider what aspects of education are most important for your child. Overall, BASIS Independent McLean is well-regarded in the community and often attracts families looking for a challenging and comprehensive educational experience.

Most don’t, some do. BIM definitely does as you can tell by the cringey, AI-sounding posts that essentially say “gosh, that Basis school sure is filled with smart kids. How exciting!”

What else are they going to do while they wait to pick up their children from the strip mall facility that’s passing as a school?

Not a BIM parent and couldn't care less, but I love it when the BIM booster brings out the insecurities of Sidwell parents.
Good job BIM booster 👏

Lol—that was my post, and I’m not a Sidwell parent. BIM’s facilities are…not good. It’s funny that you think anyone who says something about BIM is a Sidwell parent. Sidwell really has a hold on some of you. 😂

The BIM booster do get under your skin

This is an honest question: does Sidwell or Basis McLean have a specific person monitoring a handful of sites such as DCUM?

You sound insufferable.
