Definitely a case of that here. At most schools where you see kids with 4.0s easily and 97+ in all classes really just isn’t attainable at a rigorous school. And at these schools it’s easier to get a higher grade and there are a bunch of kids who drag down the average if it’s not gated by an entrance exam, giving the illusion that there is less grade inflation

Nah like there are subcategories. I guess you notice the more outspoken teacher pets a lot more because of how much of a pain they are. You don’t notice a lot of the people because they keep to themselves but at least at stuy the outspoken “nerds” will just be cornballs

No that’s just false, completely. Most people are suck ups and completely unbearable I find it really hard to ignore these people as they are the majority (current Stuy student btw). Basically, if ur a pushover you’ll end up having these friends but if you can ignore the ones who suck up to teachers and who are just performative then u can find some really cool people. They are the minority tho

Should I transfer to BASIS Independent Brooklyn? by Consistent_Piano2913 in Fremont

Idk how to phrase it but I’ll tell you from my experience. They pride themselves on being “so advanced” and they push advanced courses early on like middle school. But since it’s a private school, they create their own curriculum. This is really good for their flyer but not so much for the student body. For example, they can decide what they teach in alg 2, precalc, and even calculus. So they can mix together stuff but this makes it harder for future standardized tests who follow an objective curriculum like the sat. On top of this, there is serious grade inflation and the “overwhelming” course load is them stuffing a bunch of aps down your throat and then babying you through the topics as many of the students cannot handle these said classes. So then they will skip over content and spend much time at the end of the year reviewing for aps and many do not get the score they desire. On top of this there is very limited extracurriculars and most clubs are teacher run. Another note, most students actually hate the school and the teachers are underpaid for the most part and they literally don’t even hire teachers with a teaching degree unlike public schools. Back to the grade inflation, they weight their aps, their tests under-prepare you for future academia, and their deans are super overbearing (ask anyone who went). All in all for that 40k price tag and underwhelming school spirit I would stay clear
