Top Ranked Academic Results

The Proof Is In The Numbers: BASIS Charter Schools consistently rank among the best high schools in the United States.

As repeatedly demonstrated in U.S. News & World Report rankings, the academic foundation of our primary school curriculum sets the stage for our high schools’ success.

U.S. News & World Report rankings include data on nearly 24,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Schools are ranked on six factors based on their performance on state assessments and college preparation.

For STEM High School rankings U.S. News & World Report looked at the top 1,000 public schools from the latest Best High Schools rankings and evaluated their students’ participation and success in Advanced Placement® science and math tests.

Academics with Distinction

BASIS Charter School students achieve Advanced Placement® success, and we set high expectations for our students and use The College Board’s AP® Exams as a measure.

Unlike most American schools, which only allow their top performing students to take AP® courses, BASIS requires them of all students starting in grade 9. Graduates of BASIS Charter Schools have completed at least six AP courses, and it is not unusual for students to have taken eleven or twelve AP Exams over the course of their educational journey.

The College Board® recognizes students’ exemplary performance by naming them as:

86.2%

AP EXAM PASS RATE

11.8

AVERAGE NUMBER OF AP EXAMS PER GRADUATE

3.77

AVERAGE AP EXAM SCORE

Being an AP Scholar sets students apart from their peers on college applications, and those having received a score of 3 or higher typically experience greater academic success.

At Home and Abroad: BASIS Charter School students outperform their peers.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Test for Schools is based on The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and administered to fifteen-year-old students every three years in more than seventy countries. Rather than testing memorized facts, the OECD Test for Schools (based on PISA) assesses problem solving and critical thinking, both of which the BASIS Charter School Curriculum is based upon. BASIS Charter School students consistently outscore others across the globe, including those attending the highest-ranked schools in the world.
