BASIS Goodyear School and BASIS Goodyear Primary School

"Love this school! When there are problems, they get fixed. Yes, there is homework, but it is really manageable, at least in the primary grades. The goal is not to get straight A’s but to be challenged. If you want your kid to be a straight A student only, this may not be the place for you. However my kids love it and are taught that failure is how people learn. The kids are exposed to “specials” which includes Mandarin, Engineering, Art, and Drama. It is a great balance of science and the arts. Drive line is a pain the first 2-3 weeks as there is an increase in students and traffic year after year. This year only goes up to 10th grade, next year will be 11th, and the year after that will be 12th. So each year, a new grade gets added which means more traffic. The teachers are wonderful and my kids are excited to go to school every day. I have no idea if we can survive the 5th grade on, but if my kids are up for it, so am I."

"its a great experience for me to send my kids to Basis hopefully all the parents will agree with me . few things to be noticed to be the most effective school in this valley. first one is that to maintain the teachers and students happy.keeping more activities for students and maintain a effective sports club and social activities.whatever may the reason lots of teachers were leaving from school ,parents doesn't know whatz the reasons for leaving.its make parents confused. hopefully every thing will be fine"

"I've been en educator for 15+ years and I'm an older mother so I'm not easily taken in by new age academia. My child had always attended private school (yes it can be done, even on a teacher's salary with grants and scholarships). But... when I learned that there was a chance for an excellent education out there without the "excellent" cost, I looked into it. Unfortunately, Basis Ed is hype with a ever-so-capital 'H'. My child attended for 1 year, and I was disgusted at best. All the work my child's previous school had done, the joy of attending school every day, the desire to learn and discover had been undone by this school. I quickly wondered why my child was bringing home such a tremendous amount of homework. What is being taught at school if my child is doing such a huge load of work at home that they are up till 10 to 11PM at night attempting to complete it (in the 4th grade). The school themselves will tell you they are a, "Rigorous college preparatory program." This is a RED flag and should be to any parent. When a child can be actively and properly taught in a private setting making high grades, but suddenly your rigorous college prep program is sucking the life out of the them. Something needs to change. In addition, Basis is going to ask for your money. Basis explains that to pay their teachers properly for the great work they do, they NEED your contributions. Of which I had been happy to contribute, until I had been seeing these little things that spooked my spidey senses. Behavioral issues not handled properly, nurses office poorly staffed, etc. on my tours of other countries I've seen great teachers provide awesome educations on sidewalks with rock chalk. The difference is the symbiosis between the teacher and student. My Child was removed, and is back at a private school. Again loving to learn and making straight 'A's. What is NOT happening is hours upon hours of nightly homework. The school teaches while my child is at school. This is what should be happening. If at any time you are made to feel guilty about someone doing their job, maybe THEY are in the wrong business NOT you."

"Sure your kid will get a great education. However don't expect communication from the school. Been waiting for weeks for Mr. Bowley to return my call. Also when my daughter had a accident at school and was hurt they never called us and did not send her to the nurse's office. Was differently a better school last year. Love the idea of the school not a fan of the people running it."

"We are thrilled our daughter is attending BASIS Goodyear School. She is receiving a world class education in an environment that will prepare her for the rigors of higher education in the future. The Boosters (like a PTA) are invaluable, hosting fun events for the students and their families; and the other parents all play a role in the education of their children, working in concert with the phenomenonal educators."
