The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My overall experience with this school was good. It's really a hit or miss on what kind of teachers you get and if you even get a teacher. If you don't get a teacher that subject you take you basically learn nothing and then they throw you into the higher level of that said subject so now you're in a hole. Another bad thing in my opinion is that there is less freedom. Everywhere you look there's a hall monitor or a bit fence. It was never like that my freshman year and it didn't impact safety at all. To end on a good note, my school has a ton of clubs and sports so there's something for everyone whether you're athletic or not. I'm excited to graduate but it's scary to leave whats been my know for 3 years.

The school requires advanced classes and specialty criteria, but lacks the resources for the students to thrive. The majority of the sports help keep the student population involved, but not much funding and accessibility to after-school resources are available. The counselors seem uninterested in elevating their students to continue their education at a university or college.

Basic Academy of International Studies was not the best school I've attended. The education is mediocre at best.

Students are overtly rude and mean so are the teacher who discipline more than they teach. They don’t give any acknowledgment to students sides.

Honestly, I'm a senior here and I've been with this school since freshman year and I've got some things to say. The schools "block schedule" is pretty long and it gives the students the mindset of the fact that they can't complete work in a 30-40 min period and need an hour and 20 mins to do a thing...
