Controversy

Critics observe that the relationship between BASIS Educational Group and BASIS Charter Schools is not arms-length. As a result, there is little financial transparency. [3] An investigative article in 2010, when there were three schools in the network, rather than the 29 schools operating in the 2020-21 academic year, compared the founders' salary to the teachers and other public school administrators. [4]

The schools have suffered high attrition rates (senior classes are typically a third to a quarter of the size of the fifth-grade class). Critics argue that BASIS achieves great test scores in part by weeding out underperforming students, which is illegal. BASIS has denied this and notes that it cannot legally "weed out" students at a public school—and there is no proof of such action. [5] [6] [7]

In 2013, the District of Columbia Public Charter School Board rejected a request to expand, citing concerns about the high number of students who had withdrawn from the school since it opened. [8]
