Basis charter schools also rank high in US news Best public schools.
Very different from what we saw from this forum.

One website makes a list based on its particular criteria that may or may not have anything to do with what many families and students want and need. Rah rah.

If it's such a big deal, why was BIM virtually ignored by parents here during application season? Nothing but crickets chirping here for months.

I am sick of pseudo-liberal racists.

That's what I wanted to express too.
My kids don't feel the home work burden at all. Usually they finish their homework less than 30 mins everyday. The teacher won't give them home work for weekends, winter break and spring break.
I guess they have to work hard at school to catch up with the advanced curriculum by focusing at the class. Isn't this a good thing? Kids at Basis won't have interests to do drugs, small circle bullies like in other schools with many rich kids.

What grade are they in that so little homework is given? That is not the experience most BASIS kids had unless something has changed drastically, which would surprise me.

Shameful for your racist and empty-headed post!
Yes, I am first generation immigrant. Yes, I cannot write perfect English.
But my kids are doing much better than your kids in school. And I am much more successful than you because I can afford the tuition for two kids. This land gives everyone the opportunities to be successful but you the racial discriminator!

You know nothing about the person you are posting to, but you revert to making up all kinds of nonsense about your supposed superiority.

That tells us nothing about the person you are attacking and quite a lot of sad evidence about you.

Fit your own post too!
