GreatSchools Rating
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.

I'm currently in my senior year attending Basic Academy and I have loved every second of my senior year. When I first came to Basic for my freshman year, it was a harder transition and it took some time to get used to a larger campus. My sophomore year is when I let loose and really "didn't care". My sophomore year was also filled with some unfortunate drama of friends. My junior year, things started to become more serious and it was the hardest year of my high school career. My senior year has been easy-going, very enjoyable, so far drama free and I've spent a lot of time with my friends, family and have done the best in my classes so far.

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...
