Summary

BASIS Tucson North is a high-performing public charter school serving grades 5-12 in Tucson, Arizona. This school has consistently ranked among the top high schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

BASIS Tucson North is known for its academic excellence, with 95% of 11th-grade students projected to be proficient or better in Science in 2024-2025, compared to just 19% statewide. The school's graduation rate is also consistently high, ranging from 75.7% to 78.4% over the past few years. In contrast, nearby public high schools like Catalina Foothills High School, University High School, and Rincon High School have significantly lower academic performance and graduation rates.

This suggests the school has a robust and effective educational model that delivers consistent high performance. However, the school's performance for special education students is an area that could be improved, as it lags behind the overall school performance.
