Summary

In Flagstaff, Arizona, BASIS Flagstaff is an alternative school serving grades K–12, with 666 students. Its 2025–26 all-grades proficiency rates were 63% in English Language Arts (ELA) and 64% in math, both well above Arizona’s rates. The clearest standout is math: 64% of students were proficient, compared with 33% statewide, a 31-point advantage.

Older tested grades had the strongest results, while grade 5 had the smallest advantage over the state in both subjects. In ELA, grade 11 was 96% proficient versus 38% statewide, while grade 5 was 42% versus 38%; in math, grade 8 was 85% versus 30%, while grade 5 was 58% versus 38%. The school’s all-grades rates match those reported for BASIS Charter Schools Inc. exactly, and its three reported science-grade results also match the district’s. No other schools are within 20 miles, and the supplied data include no local school results, SchoolDigger rank or star rating, free/reduced-lunch figure, or school-specific graduation rates after 2021–22.

Science results remain well above the state, but have declined over three years in every reported grade: grade 5 fell from 61% to 46%, grade 8 from 94% to 77%, and grade 11 from 94% to 89% between 2022–23 and 2024–25. The school’s graduation rate was 100% each year from 2017–18 through 2020–21, then fell to 78% in 2021–22, a 23-point drop; that year it was about 1 point above the state’s 77%. The reported student-teacher ratio is 11.7, alongside strong test results, though the figures alone do not show that one explains the other.

Open Quote This school is amazing! One of the two things I love the most is the integrated diversity of the school. While the kids come from all over, the socio-economic status of each student does not seem to be a barrier for friendship. The other thing I like is that while they challenge kids academically at a level that even some educators say is too much, the kids eat it up. For all that the courses are so challenging, "a"s abound. Coming back every year seems like a pep rally. There is a feeling of excitement in the air. Close Quote

Open Quote I'm a student in 10th grade at this school, and honestly, from a student's perspective, it's hell on earth for me. 5th grade may seem appealing with lots of fun teachers, but as you get into higher and higher grades, teachers degrade (the administration does nothing but curve grades up when they're bad for a teacher instead of fixing the problem), less exciting activities (I have been on 1, and only 1 field trip off campus for my 3 years at basis), and more AP classes to stress your child beyond belief. I barely eat anything for breakfast because I am so stressed about the day ahead, and I'm not the only one, my peers have reported similar things. Many of my friends stay up past midnight working on homework and end up falling asleep in classes the next day due to exhaustion. 80% of the upper school teachers don't even try to make class fun and exciting. They want kids to have good grades, and that's all they care about. Some of my teachers don't even make us study guides for tests, yet they still blame us for failing the test, they don't even consider that they could possibly doing something wrong. Does the administration care? Not at all. Don't send your child to this school. Close Quote
