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.

I would like the sport snd extracurricular facilities to be enhanced/improved. The sport in our school are very mediocre, but could be so much better if we had at least a field were we could practice soccer, football, baseball etc. We are being held back due to our lack of appreciation and focus on sports. My academic experience in basis Shavano is well above average as they push us and offer many difficult classes, which better prepares us for college and higher study.

It's challenging...they keep you engaged. Most of the teachers are really good and care about what they do. The social environment is different from public school, and you don't really get the "high school experience" if you consider that experience going to parties and having big sports events, but the experience was good.

I loved how challenging BASIS is. It really makes you work and strive for something, while still making the goal attainable. The only negative things about the school for me were the lack of organization, the extreme political views, and the lack in the variety of classes. However, the people and fun sports environment mixed with the academic rigor leads me to the conclusion that I would never trade in my experiences at BASIS with any other school.

We transferred into the school from another good school where our child was doing well expecting a more challenging curriculum. What we're seeing is high pace, low concern, with a heavy emphasis on acquiring tutoring outside of the school for success. If your child was not in Basis from the beginnin...

We have had 4 kids at Basis. Our older 2 kids do well, they began in 5th grade before the new Shavano campus existed. We knew our younger 2 would need a little more help so we were so excited for the primary school to open. We thought it would be a good ramp into the middle/high school. Unfortunatel...

My daughter attended 8th grade at BASIS Medical Center and is now a freshman there. The BASIS system of schools developed, and now utilises, an exceptional curriculum that is integrated across subjects and taught by teachers that are experts in their field and mentored to excel at teaching. There ar...
