Source: BASIS Charter School results are from the 2023 OECD Test for Schools. Results for all other countries and educational systems are from the 2018 PISA exam. The 2023 OECD Test for Schools was designed to enable international benchmarking against results from the 2018 PISA exam.
Advanced Placement
Due to the challenging nature of the BASIS Charter School Curriculum, we use the College Board’s AP Exams® to measure students’ mastery of complex material.
Most American schools allow only top-performing students to take AP courses and AP Exams beginning in grades 10 or 11, but BASIS Charter Schools require ALL students to participate in AP courses and testing beginning in grade 9 (and students can elect to take AP Exams even before entering high school). Despite being younger and in lower grade levels, BASIS Charter School students perform exceedingly well on AP Exams when compared to their peers across the country and around the globe.
