Disappointed, we have been looking around for a private school for my 5 year old son. We called to…read moreget information and a possible tour, my husband got in touch with I believe the admissions lead. Her immediate tone about our son previously attending a public school for preschool came off condescending, basically saying he would not be able to keep up with the curriculum. Before even evaluating or meeting us. This could be an incredible school, but they need to reconsider the way they treat potential student families. We will look elsewhere.

We couldn't be more pleased with the staff and teachers of Bayer. Our oldest daughter has been…read moreenrolled at Bayer for 3 years beginning with the PreK 3 program, she will be starting the 1st grade this fall. Her reading, writing, math, and problem-solving comprehension are extremely advanced for a 6-year-old. The teachers she has had in the 3 years she's been at Bayer have all been great to work with. They are committed to their kids, and their success. I can't speak to the negative comments regarding this school. But as a parent of a child going into first grade and of one going into the PreK 3 program this fall, I would recommend this school to anyone who is willing to put in the work to be successful. Bayer is a challenging school, the teachers and curriculum ask a lot of the kids and their parents. If you are not willing to work hard with your child and show them how to work hard, they will not have a good time. Our daughter has learned the value of putting in work and seeing the payoff. I think in today's world, teaching respect, hard work and discipline are very important. These are things that a child barely out of Kindergarten is learning. This is a great school, and I am excited to watch our children grow and learn here.

Basis has provided an exceptional experience for my family. My daughter has always been a good…read morestudent however, it was not until she began at Basis in the fifth grade when she began to become an exceptional student. In the beginning it most definitely was rough and challenging for my daughter. Although, at a school like Basis where; the curriculum exceeds expectations, support systems are phenomenal, and resources are readily available, I now know what all the hard work was/is for and it's worth it because you see real results. My daughter is in seventh grade now, and I have seen so much improvement. Basis and my family have collectively worked together to expeditiously get positive results and we will continue working with Basis. I try my hardest to keep my daughter on track and it is clear Basis is doing the same. Without their guidance and advice on how to help my daughter at home, I would be useless. This is a school that motivates their students to excel and challenges students in a way other schools don't. If you believe in your child and know that your child is capable of doing hard work then Basis is for you! This school is a school for kids that want to work hard and won't shy away from a challenge. Additionally, the benevolent faculty and staff are highly qualified and well-rounded. If you would want anyone to be mentoring, advising or teaching your children...then Basis is where they need to be. I am more than positive that after attending Basis my child has and will continue to exceed my expectations and others. I thank Basis for this, and appreciate the prodigious experience they've given my family. We love Basis!

As a long time student, it is a solid option if you want your child to get an accelerated…read morecurriculum. However, the faculties (ex: bathrooms, classrooms, etc.) could use some work. I genuinely feel bad for the janitor because the kids can trash the bathrooms. On a good note, the school offers a varied selection of extracurriculars and electives to take (especially 7th grade and up). All around a 6.5/10.

Highly unimpressed with the leadership here at this school. Principal is rude and condescending to…read moreconcerned parents, and if parents try to advocate for their child, the principal will interrupt, belittle, and then start crying when things don't go her way (not an exaggeration btw). Children with special needs such as ADHD or autism are overlooked and/or looked down upon. Communication is extremely poor. If something happens between children, you may not hear about it for a week or so, and when you try to ask them why they are delaying telling you about certain behaviors or incidents, they will put the blame back on you saying "well why does it matter when I tell you?" Principal seems to care little to nothing about what parents think, or how the children feel. How can you trust a place that doesn't communicate with you about your child, and then when you try to communicate with them they shut you down, make you feel like you're inconveniencing them, or refuse to talk to you all together?

One of my friends passed away and they proceeded to take her out the promotion program. They said it was to "protect other students" but that was just a very disrespectful thing to do. When other girls would joke about her death and spread rumors about it, they would not do ANYTHING about it and when they "did" it would never stop. The only thing they would crack down on was kids selling drugs, that's it. This school has made me have so much low self esteem, The only good thing about this school is the extra curriculums.

Good school, nice teachers, but the office treats you like a criminal for the smallest thing…read more Apparently, my kid's friend is in a friend group and he's kind of an executive there or whatever their hierarchy system is. And apparently one of the kids in said group was kicked out of it in fifth and sixth grade for doing inexplicable things in the middle of class, but it was misworded to the teacher what he did and he faced little punishment. He tried to rejoin in sixth grade but was kicked out. Now this year he tried AGAIN and succeeded. Now this group was kind of like a Democracy, so they held a vote to kick him out, and a majority voted in favor, to which he brought it up to the principal and my kid's friend was called up to the office. He explained why they had kicked him out due to the "things" he did in fifth grade, but the vice principal pushed that all aside and claimed it was harassment to kick him out of the group, and even if they did, the kid who was voted out would still be allowed to sit anywhere anyway. To which the kid brought up a good point, if they voted him out, he wouldn't have to move, could still sit with them, yadda yadda, so therefore kicking him out would do nothing except tell him they do not want to be involved with him anymore. To which the VP switched the topic talking about how he was putting peer pressure onto the other kids, and how he talked to them about the whole thing, and they said they wanted him to stay in. I'm sorry??? Pretty sure YOU put them under peer pressure because NOBODY wants to look like a bad guy in front of the VP, so how is holding a vote peer pressure but straightforward pressuring kids in your office ISN'T?!?!?
