BASIS Prescott

Summary:

BASIS Prescott is a public charter school in Prescott, Arizona that serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with a diverse student population.

BASIS Prescott consistently outperforms the state and district averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, 92% of 7th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41% statewide, and 94% were proficient or better in math, compared to 30% statewide. The school also maintains very high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90% to 100% over the past five years, significantly higher than the nearby Prescott Valley School, which had a 63.6% four-year graduation rate in 2015-2016. Additionally, BASIS Prescott has had consistently low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 0.2% over the past five years, in contrast to the 4.7% dropout rate at Prescott Valley School in 2021-2022.

The data suggests that BASIS Prescott's rigorous curriculum and teaching methods are highly effective in preparing students for success. However, the school's higher spending per student, ranging from $7,738 to $11,345 over the past three years, compared to $10,855 per student at Prescott Valley School in 2019-2020, raises questions about the sustainability and equity of this funding model. Additionally, the racial demographics of the student population, with a significantly higher percentage of White students (71.36%) compared to the state and district averages, suggest that the school may not be fully representative of the broader community, which warrants further examination.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
