Great school for academics. The curriculum is challenging and there is a lot of homework. However, it keeps the kids busy and challenged. Most teachers are amazing. A couple of teachers are not that great but no school is perfect. My only complaint about this school is the workload is sometimes too much the kids dont get to be kids. My daughter does not have any other activity other than school education/studying and homework. Having said that, she is so advanced and she loves the challenge!

A demanding school that is worth every minute of hard work because it is giving kids a fantastic advantage in the real world. If you really want to help your kids succeed in life, this is the school. Its tough work for the whole family and everyone involved needs to participate in order for success.

At previous schools, my children were not being challenged and the work was too easy (I know, sounds snooty but unfortunately true). This is why I looked into Charter Schools. I am so glad I found Basis. My boys have grown so much and they love it. The teachers really care about the subjects they teach and the students. The students are encouraged to be creative, speak out, and try new things, as well as supported if they are struggling or want to get ahead. I have 2 who will be graduating in a couple of years and couldnt be happier with all theyve accomplished so far. I recommend this school every chance I get.

My son was not sufficiently challenged at other schools. Not only has BASIS challenged him, but he has developed work ethic and responsibility that was not cultivated at other schools. I feel that he will be well prepared for college and for whatever he pursues as a career.

BASIS Shavano is a great school with a challenging curriculum. Some in the area refer to it is Freestone, comparing it to Keystone, an expensive private school, here in San Antonio. Being a charter school, there is no tuition.What other schools offer 9th grade students multiple opportunities at AP classes? Even though the work load is excessive, at times, my children would not want to go anywhere else.If you want an excellent education for your child without the expense of private school, you should look into BASIS.

Im currently a student at Basis Shavano and have been in the Basis curriculum for almost 4 years. The main review received for this school is that the homework is too much or it is too challenging. It definitely takes some work to do well in the school, but in all it isnt that bad; especially considering the benefit it can give you in college doing well is quite rewarding. There is only one general problem about the school itself. Students are generally nice and shouldnt give you a rough time, teachers are usually kind, funny, and interesting to watch teach, but the main problem that happens in Basis schools is how unprepared they are to make them. We still havent received the promised indoor gym and some of the school painting is unfinished, in fact, last year, Basis made us move to a church in some bad conditions for a full school year, because they couldnt finish the school in time. In the end, I would recommend Basis for all of its numerous benefits over the work it takes to do well

If you want your kids to be stressed depressed and overall unhappy then this a great place to be. My peers and I that attended the terrible school that is called BASIS and all regret it. Terrible experience with teachers who simply did not have the willingness in their heart to do anything. Good luck to you.

The staff is help full and the school is pretty educated and you get to learn aloat things. Like biology chemistry physics

This school is definitely not for everyone, but it’s a great fit for our son and we are happy to have this charter school option available to us.

This school has pushed my son out of his comfort zone in the best possible way! Highly recommend for students who are finding themselves bored and unstimulated at their current school.

So grateful that we found this amazing school where my daughter can go and thrive.

This school is so over the top and advanced for MIDDLE SCHOOLERS its ridiculous. Other reviews tote how good this school is but it isnt. The sheer amount of work they give is unbelievably stressful on a young mind, not even considering the level of advancement its at which would be much for HIGH SCHOOLERS. My cousin went there only for 5 days and he nearly had a mental breakdown from the amount of stress he had over the assignments. Hes only in the 7th grade yet they treat him like high schooler with they physics, biology and chemistry among eight other classes to make a total of 11, a majority of which are that of a high school level. Not to mention there is extreme bullying that runs rampant though the school and yet the principal and the staff do nothing about it, the amount of homework and tests as stated, is ridiculous it takes 2 hours just to finish math and this is only 7th grade imagine 8th and high school. On top of all this the school doesnt even provide lunches and expect students to either bring their own or for parents to give their kids money for the nearby fuddruckers. I know it might seem good because of the accomplishments that are beyond average but the way they do this is unbelievably stressful and detrimental for a young persons psyche. May i remind you my cousin has only been there for less than a week and already is desperate to leave. I would not recommend this school to anyone unless their child was nothing short of a prodigy. The amount and difficulty of the work, strictness of the teachers and seemingly uncaring faculty is beyond comprehension and if you are looking to give your children a quality education or even just a decent schooling experience just send them to regular public school or private school not this needlessly over complicated and stressful experience that is basis

Amazing school, top-of-the-line faculty, one of the best school in San Antonio

We are happy so far and have been there for 4 years.

Exceptional school, helped my son improve a lot

Decent school homework a bit much though.

My children like this school for the fact that ‘kids go to this school because they want to be there’

Its bad i have only been there for 5 das and i want to leave

Love this school!

It really do be like that

Very good school highly recommended
