You're welcome, I have been in this school for almost 2 years and it really was great, not really good in sports but in academics it's incredible. I just wish they would put soccer back, I know that the people may push each other, and throw the ball out, but it really was the best sport after all. read more

Terrible experiences. The deans were racist and their rankings were from the class of 2023 and ever since then their teachers have left and been replaced with terrible teachers who genuinely don't care about students. If you truly want a good school experience go to Rincon/University High school. read more

The semi-recent acquisition of the BASIS corporation has led to massive deterioration within the systems of BASIS Tucson North. Administration is lazy, lacks forethought and performs lackadaisical execution of almost every task of significance. If you are considering enrolling your student in Basis Tucson North, I would strongly advise you head my advice. I have been a student at Basis for 6 years and every major general operation has at one point been disturbed due to lack of administrative care. This school has a promising curriculum, the classes offer an edge over 'most' public schools, however, your student will not learn in a way that is meaningful. At Basis Tucson North we are taught that learning is memorization. To be able to fill in the correct bubble on the testing sheet. We are taught this way even in our language classes. These classes are so poorly structured at no fault of the educators themselves. The vast majority of teachers at Basis Tucson North despise the administration as well as scrutinize they're inability to provide basic support. Students are often indirectly advised not to seek out administrative help on issues with schedules, classes, personal issues or even cases of harassment. This is simply because, without your parents the deans and the head of school will do nothing about your issues. They will tell you to your face, "No." and when you involve your parents they will go back on that, saying that that wasn't what they said or wasn't what they meant. Every teacher at Basis Tucson North is caring and performs in an exemplary fashion, however, the range of courses and extracurriculars is dismal. If you want your child to be an interesting person that explores their interests and ideals, do not put your student in Basis Tucson North. This institution actively stifles creativity. Everyday, I leave my home at 7 AM and arrive home at 5 PM. 10 hours of my day is allocated to school related activity and travel. Upon my return from school I have an average workload of 4 hours of homework. If you include meals, I usually complete my assignments at 12 to 12:30 AM. This is not an uncommon practice. A recent study done by the AP statistics students at Basis Tucson North concluded that the average amount of sleep a Basis high school student gets per night is 5 hours. On top of this, while Basis boasts an advanced curriculum, the courses taken in middle school lack the foundational content required for the courses the following year. This holds blatantly evident within the language classes. This year, the content present in the language classes had to be repeated from the year prior due to a lack of foundational support that caused a 2 year setback. Not only this, at the beginning of this year, students were denied the ability to advance to their next courses in math because of a scheduling issue created by the fault of the administration. Similarly, this year also introduced a new issue, locker overlap. Students received the same lockers assigned, i.e. student A would receive locker 631, and so would student B, and so would student C, etc. Yet again an astounding effect of administrative error. If you value your students education and well being, DO NOT ENROLL IN BASIS TUCSON NORTH. read more
