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 Oro Valley is an extremely safe, academically rigorous, and tight-knit school. Everyone is very close to each other, and there is a very encouraging environment for academic excellence. I would like to change and expand the selection of classes offered at BASIS. I would like for BASIS to offer more classes in more unique areas such as a pre-med class or an introduction to business class.

Our family has had a great experience at this school. The teachers and administrators truly care about my child's success and offer 'student hours' after school for additional support and tutoring when he's struggling. The facility is small for a 6-12 school, but the community more than makes up for it and they get really creative in making everything work.

I have gotten an amazing education at BASIS, especially in math and sciences. My English and history teachers have also challenged our ideas and pushed us to develop critical thinking skills. It is a very supportive community.

I had high hopes in this school that dwindled year over year as it was made apparent that they do not care about their student's. Bullying is a big problem and the pressure put on the kids is too much. The school has some upsides but not enough to overshadow the bad.

Rumors say that those who “left” the school never left. They are simply trapped under the floors to fester like Little Charlie Copper.

Hello, I am a 14 year old 8th grade BASIS student, and I absolutely love BASIS Oro Valley. What hurts is hearing reviews from non-BASIS students and parents that aren't valid. Some students and parents who left BASIS complain about the work load, or the intensity of the school, but it's not like the...
