Basha High School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating it is a high-performing school within the state.

Basha High School consistently outperforms the Chandler Unified District and the state of Arizona in academic assessments, with 68% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in AASA/English Language Arts, compared to 64% for the district and 38% for the state.

The school has also maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 91.4% in 2020-2021 to 93.7% in 2022-2023, consistently outperforming the state average.

When compared to other nearby high schools, such as Dr. Camille Casteel High School and Perry High School, which are also part of the Chandler Unified District, Basha High School generally outperforms them in academic assessments and graduation rates. This suggests that Basha High School may be a particularly strong option for families in the Chandler area. While the school is a high-performing institution, there may be opportunities for further improvement, particularly in areas where the school's performance, though strong, is not as dominant compared to the district or state, such as in science proficiency.

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.
