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.

Does an excellent job at preparing college-bound students. Elective and club options could be more diverse; not as many options for things like extracurriculars and languages as a public school. Student well-being is largely placed in the hands of the family, but students who work hard to prioritize their mental health and school-life balance will succeed.

I appreciate that the BASIS curriculum is so rigorous and challenging. It was refreshing to come from public school where academics were not valued to BASIS where I was pushed to do my best. I think that BASIS should put a bigger emphasis on mental health, though. A school with such intense academics should create an environment where students feel welcome to better their mental health via counselors or other means.

Their special education is academic based, meaning if a child tests well they keep them even if they conti...

My kids have been at BASIS Prescott since it opened 10 years ago! My kids have been challenged academically, have learned to work hard, and developed time management skills.
