BASIS Scottsdale Primary - West Campus

Summary:

BASIS Scottsdale Primary - West Campus is a high-performing public charter elementary school serving grades K-4 in Scottsdale, Arizona, part of the BASIS Charter Schools Inc. district, which is ranked 8th out of 288 districts in the state.

The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Arizona, with students demonstrating exceptionally high proficiency rates on state assessments, far exceeding the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, 86% of 3rd graders and 82% of 4th graders were proficient in math, compared to just 43% and 36% statewide, respectively. This high-achieving status extends across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the top 20 Arizona elementary schools for Asian, African American, Hispanic, and multi-racial students. However, the school has a relatively low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may not be as economically diverse as some other top-ranked schools.

When compared to other highly-ranked elementary schools in the Scottsdale area, such as BASIS Scottsdale Primary - East Campus and Sonoran Sky Elementary, BASIS Scottsdale Primary - West Campus stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in math. The school's per-student spending is also relatively high, ranging from $9,148 to $11,084 over the past few years, which is likely necessary to support its rigorous academic program.

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.
