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.

Having two sons and a daughter attend BASIS Prescott couldn't have been a better choice. If you want your child to be college ready, this is a great school. Teachers truly care about their students. Simply one of the best options in the Tri-City area.

What drew me to this school was the academics; they have such a wide variety of classes and the teachers truly want the students to succeed. One of the biggest things that people complain about is the lack of sports, but in reality we have the top mountain-biking team in the state, and we also have strong volleyball, golf, and basketball teams in addition to more unique sports like quidditch and disc golf.

The entire school is a clique. They will force out anyone who doesn’t support their narrow focus. They start with over 35 kids in a kindergarten class and push out all that are not above level. Their special education is academic based, meaning if a child tests well they keep them even if they conti...

We have been a BASIS Prescott family for eight years now. We have three children that attend BASIS Prescott. This is a school with advanced curriculum and I would say that parental guidance and support is highly recommended for most students. The parents and staff at BASIS Prescott are investing in...
