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.

BASIS Oro Valley is an extremely safe, academically rigorous, and tight-knit school. Everyone is very close to each other, and there is a very encouraging environment for academic excellence. I would like to change and expand the selection of classes offered at BASIS. I would like for BASIS to offer more classes in more unique areas such as a pre-med class or an introduction to business class.

Very academically focused and drives students to achieve some of the best results they can, but can sometimes come at the cost of the mental health of the students. Being a smaller school the students tend to have better communication and relationships with teachers.

Basis Oro Valley is one of the best schools for academics. Basis is for you if you want to incorporate yourself in many high-level classes. It has a great course selection and one of the best college counselors. The course rigor is very high but worth it as your senior year is to help you apply to Unviersity.

Rumors say that those who “left” the school never left. They are simply trapped under the floors to fester like Little Charlie Copper.

Hello, I am a 14 year old 8th grade BASIS student, and I absolutely love BASIS Oro Valley. What hurts is hearing reviews from non-BASIS students and parents that aren't valid. Some students and parents who left BASIS complain about the work load, or the intensity of the school, but it's not like the...
