Basha High School, Chandler AZ - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Basha High School

Basha High School serves grades six through twelve in the Chandler Unified School District, a large regular public school in the southeastern Phoenix suburb of Chandler. With an enrollment that places it among the bigger schools in its grade band, the student body is majority white, with a substantial Asian population and a notable Hispanic presence; smaller shares of students are Black, multiracial, Native American, or Pacific Islander. Information on free or reduced-price meal eligibility and special education or English learner enrollment was not available, so a parent who relies on those indicators will need to ask the school directly.

State assessment results are available for the middle-school grades the school serves, grades six through eight. In both math and English language arts, proficiency rates are strong, and in several grade-level subjects they exceed four-fifths of students meeting the standard. Science proficiency, measured in grade eight, is comparably high. When placed against districts across Maricopa County, Basha’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades lands in the top quartile—a clear signal of above-average academic achievement at the middle-school level. State testing data for the high school grades, however, was not included in the available information. A parent considering the upper grades may want to ask for those results directly. A graduation rate was also not reported; its absence often reflects the school’s combined grade configuration, but the reason is not specified here, so it is worth following up with the school or district.

Chandler itself is a large, fast-growing suburb built around a historic downtown that has largely been eclipsed by master-planned subdivisions and corporate campuses. The city is a recognized semiconductor and technology hub, anchored by Intel and other major employers. The built environment is car-oriented, with wide arterial roads and freeway corridors shaping daily life. The school sits in the southern part of the city, in an area of newer residential development. Housing in the Chandler zip code carries a price well above national averages, and rents are also higher than typical, consistent with a region that has seen sustained job growth and rising demand. The district is the city’s largest employer, and no major parent-relevant changes were reported in the most recent publicly available information.

No data on program offerings, such as Advanced Placement, dual enrollment, or career and technical pathways, was provided. Given the school’s size and its placement in a well-resourced district, such offerings are common in similar schools, but the absence of specifics means a family should verify directly with Basha what is available. Discipline, chronic absenteeism, and staffing data were also not included in this profile. The school’s civil rights data was not available.

What emerges is a picture of a large, combined middle and high school in an affluent, expanding tech-suburb, with strong state test results at the middle-school level that place it among the top performers in the county. The missing pieces—high school assessment results, graduation rate, program inventory, and student-support indicators—are substantial enough that a family evaluating fit at the upper grades will want to gather more information directly from the school.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
