BASIS Scottsdale Reviews
Pros: good teachers are GREAT. These teachers care and have many certifications. You can come early in the morning and study, which is pretty nice. A lot of cool people with all types of interests attend. Easier to get into college with lower grades (I believe).
Cons: good teachers are few and far between, maybe one or two per grade. A lot of inexperienced, bright eyed teachers come in yearly due to high turnover, and they teach you nothing (no fault of their own really). Lots of rude teachers. Facilities lacking severely. Admin is quite bad. Lots (I mean lots) of racism. No backpacks in classrooms. Very small campus.
Now for advice: please don’t join this school later than 6th grade, unless you know this student is highly intelligent. If you are average or a slightly above average you will struggle, but pull through. Expect a drop of 5-10% in grades. I recommend that you teach good study habits as you go. Always work ahead. Tried to be unbiased.
