In 2003, Basis Scottsdale was opened. In 2010, Basis Oro Valley was founded. A year later, Basis opened three schools at once in Chandler, Peoria, and Flagstaff.[8] Basis continued its expansion by opening another school in Tucson and one in Phoenix proper in fall 2012, along with their first non-Arizona school, located in Washington, D.C. In 2013, Basis opened its tenth and eleventh Arizona campuses in Ahwatukee and Mesa, and the second non-Arizona campus was added in San Antonio, Texas. Basis also began its primary (K-4) program at their Basis Tucson site. In 2014, Basis opened in Prescott, AZ. In 2015, Basis opened its sixteenth Arizona school in Goodyear, AZ.[9] Basis was featured in the documentary film 2 Million Minutes: A 21st Century Solution, which examined differences between the curriculum of charter schools in comparison with that of conventional public schools.[10] In response to the documentary, Newt Gingrich and Al Sharpton visited a Basis campus to deliver speeches on the importance of education in America.[11][12][13][14] LocationsThere are currently twenty-seven tuition-free public charter schools located in Arizona (Basis Scottsdale and Basis Tucson Primary), Louisiana (Baton Rouge), Texas, Washington, D.C. and Huizhou, Guangdong, China that are run by Basis Schools. Criticisms and controversiesBoth Basis schools and their parent organization have been the subject of criticism and controversy. Critics contend that Basis is failing to provide adequate financial transparency and accountability as it uses for-profit management company.[15] Another investigative article in 2010 questioned the founders' salary compared to the teachers and other public school administrators.[16] Other critics take issue with Basis's accelerated curriculum and general educational philosophy. Some argue that Basis focuses too much on standardized testing.[17] Critics also point out that Basis's performance in national ranking systems like the U.S. News & World Report is largely a function of Basis's singular focus on mandatory AP testing, as these ranking systems give great weight to the percentage of students at a school that take AP tests.[18] Critics also take issue with Basis's attrition rates (senior classes are typically a third to a quarter of the size of the fifth grade class) and argue that Basis achieves good test scores in part by weeding out under-performing students.[19][20][21] In 2013, the District of Columbia Public Charter School Board rejected a request from Basis DC to expand, citing concerns about the high number of students who had withdrawn from the school since it opened.[22] Basis schools in Arizona solicit contributions from parents, an unusual practice for publicly-funded schools. Basis Scottsdale asks $1,500 per student. Basis teachers make less than the average for public school teachers in the state, although Basis.ed contends that with bonuses, compensation is competitive.[23] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Basis Schools Inc Form 990 2015|url=https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/860908854|publisher=ProPublica|accessdate=27 January 2018}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://basiscurriculumschools.com/|title=BASIS Curriculum Schools|last=|first=|date=October 30, 2018|website=BASIS Curriculum Schools|access-date=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.basised.com/|title=BASIS.ed|last1=|first1=|date=|website=BASIS.ed website|accessdate=October 30, 2018}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/rankings-overview|title=U.S. News & World Reports Best High Schools|last=|first=|date=October 30, 2018|website=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160602050231/http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/rankings-overview|archive-date=2016-06-02|dead-url=yes|access-date=}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/americas-most-challenging-high-schools-top-25-national-list/2017/06/25/a92e2c50-578e-11e7-ba90-f5875b7d1876_story.html|title=The Washington Post "America's Most Challenging High Schools top 25 national list"|last=|first=|date=October 30, 2018|website=The Washington Post|access-date=}} 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Strauss|first1=Valerie|title=What the public isn’t told about high-performing charter schools in Arizona|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2017/03/30/what-the-public-doesnt-know-about-high-performing-charter-schools-in-arizona/|website=The Washington Post|accessdate=1 June 2017}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/a-little-school-demands-a-lot--more-than-any-other-in-dc-is-that-good/2018/05/20/191c6eb4-588d-11e8-8836-a4a123c359ab_story.html|title=A little school demands a lot — more than any other in D.C.
