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 Scottsdale is an academically rigorous middle and high school. While a great stress is put on academics, this school offers a variety of clubs for all grades, both academic and non-academic ones. BASIS is not your traditional model of a public high school, and if you are a student interested in a more social setting for high school, this may not be your best fit. With that said, the curriculum greatly prepares students academically for college.

It's a great school academically but the problem is there's not enough extracurricular opportunities. When applying to college, ECs are more important than test scores. I was too busy my junior year to do stuff outside of school.

The classes that were offered were really good and the education aided me later in college, however, you do lose a lot of the traditional highschool experiences due to the lack of sports and dances and the poor management from faculty.

Overall not a well run school. Also does NOT give a holistic education and a holistic environment to students. Very cramped due to lack of space inside and outside. Even academically not a very consistent approach to teaching and grading. Grading is very disproportionate and there is lack of transpa...

Horrible school! Do not go here! I do not know what the good reviews are about. Those are parents thinking this is a good school for their kid because they make kids learn such academically high level things. I'm 100% sure if you ask any kid in the school, even ones with a 4.0 GPA, they will say it'...
