BASIS Prescott

BASIS Prescott is a public charter school in Prescott, Arizona that serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with 599 students currently enrolled. The school is part of the BASIS Charter Schools Inc. network and has been in operation for several years.

BASIS Prescott consistently outperforms the state and its own charter network on standardized test scores across multiple grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025 projected scores, the school had 90% proficiency in 8th grade science and math, compared to 30% and 27% statewide, respectively. The school also has a strong 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 76.6% to 90% over the past few years, and a relatively low dropout rate between 3.3% to 6.1% during the same period. These metrics are better than the state averages. Additionally, BASIS Prescott spends significantly more per student than the state average, with spending ranging from $7,738 to $11,345 per student over the past few years.

Compared to the nearby Prescott Valley School and Bradshaw Mountain Online Academy, BASIS Prescott significantly outperforms these schools on academic metrics like test scores and graduation rates. This highlights the academic rigor and success of BASIS Prescott. However, the school does not provide data on free/reduced lunch rates, which makes it difficult to assess the school's ability to serve students from diverse backgrounds.
