Rating 4 out of 5 81 reviews
this school helps students prepare for college and university very well. i feel very prepared for the future since the classes are overall more advanced than the average high school class. however, the school struggles with having any sort of activities or events apart from academic stuff. we barely have pep rallies or events after school. sports aren’t that important since we could barely put together a team for the minimal options we are given. we don’t even have a baseball team! they managed to ruin the clubs as well by not allowing us to fundraise any sort of money for any cause, and this is detrimental since most of the clubs are made to fundraise, like Peer Advocacy Crew, She’s the First, and Red Cross. it’s hard to participate in anything since there’s no attention put towards anything fun. though there are many drawbacks to this school, i must acknowledge the amazing opportunities that going to Basis opens up. the curriculum is rigorous, challenging, competitive, and exciting.
Started at BASIS in 5th grade and it has been a ride. Contemplated leaving many times but i’m glad I stuck with it. Academics are test based and AP style (6 AP’s required to graduate) so if you learn and can succeed in that type of environment it’s perfect for you. Only thing that I really hate about this school is the limited sports and club opportunities. Most if not all clubs are student led so they don’t usually last long(except for honor societies) and sports are not funded and rely on teacher support. If a teacher leaves that lead a sports team, the team is more than likely gone. Can be a really toxic environment for some ( students are very competitive). Overall i give it a 7/10 experience.
I have been in BASIS since kindergarten, so I'm used to doing a lot of schoolwork. It's a small school, and the people are pretty nice, but most who are still attending after high school have been in BASIS for quite a while, so it can be a little difficult for newcomers to make friends at first, but as school progresses it will be easier. I like the education, even though the courses can be difficult. The difficulty of my classes challenges me and pushes me to try my best in all subjects. The worst part of my experience would be the instability of teachers, and though that is out of my control, it can make things like rec. letters and a good relationship with them hard. One thing I would like to see change is the "no phones policy". I understand why we can't have them out in class, especially while a lecture is happening, but the fact that we can't use it during lunch makes no sense to me. Overall, I like BASIS, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a challenge.
