BASIS Ranks High

BASIS Tucson, an arm of the Arizona-based charter school network, was ranked the #1 charter school in the country and the #6 overall high school.

So why do we care?  BASIS' next move is to 8th between D and E: the charter school's first expansion out of Arizona is right here in Penn Quarter. Work is still being done on the building, but BASIS DC expects to serve grades 5-8 starting in September.

BASIS has released a before-and-after shot of how the building will look come September:
