BASIS Scottsdale

Charter schools in Arizona are not required to hire teachers who meet state teaching certification requirements. Basis teachers make less than the average for public school teachers in the state, although Basis.ed contends that with bonuses, compensation is competitive. Nevertheless, academic standards at Basis Scottsdale are high. Basis Scottsdale requires graduating students to take seven AP-level courses and sit for six AP exams.

As a publicly funded school, Basis Scottsdale is not selective. In 2017, however, the wait list numbered a thousand. The school does not offer bus service, which makes it less attractive for lower-income students. Asians are well represented, making up 47% of the student body. Scottsdale is 3.3% Asian.
