BASIS Phoenix

"Terrible. Teachers are extremely sexist and rude except for a select few. No point in complaining against a teacher to the principal . Oppressive. They try to get the kids in trouble for little things, and have no rationality when making decisions. Lousy and extremely unorganized. Need to calm down. Would give zero stars if it was possible. many students say "its a living hell "NO security guards either. Do not send your child here."

"Very disappointing at the school, I entered my child to the lottery for high school for the next school year, she wasn't selected... they assigned HER #32 on waiting list, well my surprise was that few weeks later I'm checking to see if she was a little closer TO THE TOP on the list...WOW NOW MY CHILD IS THE #33 on the waiting list!!! how nice of the school instead of moving kids up on the waiting list they move them down...HOW'S THAT POSSIBLE?????"

"One of the best decisions we took when he was in 6th Grade. He is a senior now and we see the progression in him. As we are applying for the colleges we can see the impact of being at BASIS. The AP classes, the capstones, the Senior Year Projects, the Honor Courses, Sports etc. you name it. It is all there. A 4.0 GPA in a regular High School stands nothing close to a 3.5 of BASIS. The colleges look at the overall personality not just scores, they look at what classes and courses you took, how rigorous was the curriculum. One thing for sure BASIS is not for everyone, the students and their parents have to be committed and it is not easy to sail through BASIS this why many leave in the middle. We worked with the teachers, took the student support to get him back on track. He may not be in the top 2% of the class but his scores in the Standardized tests, school, AP, extra curricular etc. have already started getting him LOAs and scholarship calls. BASIS did have ups and down in 2017-18 but things have settled down now. The quality of college counselling we are getting for the Seniors this year is remarkable. It is being manged very professionally now, their road map and structure is outstanding. Adding in here, the teachers are phenomenon, in last 6 years we interacted with many and all are gems. We are so proud for what our son has accomplished here. He is College ready already. Very important is the parents get involved with the school and work out a plan early. Keep up the good work BASIS Phoenix. You are doing a GREAT JOB !"

"I have been going to basis for 3 years and am starting my fourth year. I love everything about this school but it definitely isn't for everyone. If your looking for a challenging and rewarding school than I recommend basis. There are all sorts of people and I've met some great friends there. There's undoubtedly a stereotype that all the kids spend all their time studying but that's not true for everyone there. If you work hard, and really put in an effort then you'll prosper!!"

"My kids have been going to this school for 4 years now. Can't say enough about teachers and the principal, they created a challenging academic environment for the kids that allowed students to open up and grow and become the best students they can be. It is a rarity nowadays to find a school where the issues of bulling, bad discipline, poor grades do not exist. Highly recommend this school!"
