Summary:
The seven schools in Bassett Unified include four elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools; the supplied grade-level results cover grades 3–5, 6–8 and grade 11. In 2025–26, the schools’ equal-weight averages were 41% in English language arts (ELA), 26% in math and 21% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important takeaway is that the average result fell below the state in every subject, with the largest gap in science at 15 percentage points.
The leading school depends on the subject: Bassett Senior High had the top ELA result at 66%, 15 points above the next-highest school, while Edgewood Academy led math at 43%, 14 points ahead of the runner-up. J. E. Van Wig Elementary led science at 33%, just 4 points ahead of the next school, though still below the state. At the other end, Nueva Vista Continuation High had the lowest result in all three subjects: 13% in ELA and 6% in math and science. Sunkist Elementary was lowest among the elementary schools in all three all-grades results, but its grade-three math result exceeded the state’s.
Across the seven schools, the average ELA result rose by 2 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, narrowing the gap with the state by 2 points; the math gap widened by less than 1 point, while the science gap widened by 5. Grade-level results offer another distinction: Edgewood led math in grades 3, 4 and 5, including 65% in grade 3—18 points above the state for that grade. SchoolDigger’s rankings rose from the 64th to the 67th percentile for Edgewood and from the 1st to the 13th for Nueva Vista, though rankings do not guarantee improvement in every subject. All seven schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25, ranging from 84% at Edgewood to 98% at Nueva Vista; these figures are context, not an explanation for achievement. Nueva Vista’s small enrollment of 46 also makes its results less stable and its comparison with other schools less straightforward.
