Looks like there have not been any recent reviews of this location. If you want your child to be…read morepart of a community and not part of a system, DO NOT send your student here. The head of school, Stephanie Terrell, is one of the worst, most contradictory administrators I have ever had the chore of emailing weekly for an entire school year. She protects her teachers with a fierce bias and will not hold anyone accountable for the simple reason that its not worth her time because a teacher is retiring. Stephanie would rather put a parent on a "communication plan" to restrict their ability to ask questions and have transparent dialogue. BASIS teachers have repeatedly told parents that the children are irresponsible - such as at back to school night before they even know a child's name - and then spend the whole year discriminating against that child because they are young and can't possibly know how to advocate for themselves. God forbid the teachers actually take the time to teach logical, straight forward executive functioning skills without confusing both parents and students by over complicating everything and poorly communicating. My 1st grader had a stack of papers 9.5 inches high by the end of the school year. It had been so frustrating to try talking to anyone at the school about how much value paper pushing provides, that I actually did the math myself: my student had to have his butt in a seat quietly doing a worksheet every 14 minutes of the school day. How is this a demonstration of rigorous, advanced academics taught with hands-on learning techniques that promote problem solving? The only problem my kid had to solve was how to not let one toe fall out of line. His teachers spoke to him like he was dumb and took off academic points if he forgot to put his name or class on any of the several hundred papers he had to churn out. Then, they couldn't even keep track of what they had to grade, so they marked it missing and penalized my students grade, blaming it on him for not turning in his work. Again, it's his problem because he's an irresponsible child. They don't care about your student as a human. They care about their statistics. Better off going to CUSD where they max the classes at 24 kids (not 32 as at BASIS), they connect with you and your family on a personal level, and they don't try to shove valueless busywork in their face throughout the day to prove the kids are learning for their own inflated statistics.

Parents do not enroll your child into this school!! I'm still dealing with the trauma Basis caused…read moremy daughter due to the nonstop bullying and harassment that was being overlooked. The faculty and staff of this campus discriminates greatly and with no consideration tried to destroy my daughters character. BASIS does not know how to deal with children with behavioral issues and does not care for the well-being of all students. This school failed my daughter greatly and purposely disrupted her education while trying to portrayed to the public that they pride themselves for their academic achievements. I had to withdrawal my 8 year old daughter because I did not feel safe for her to finish the semester and I'm still very upset that this school not only took opportunities away from my daughter, but also caused her a great deal of problems with her self esteem. Parents do not let this school fool you, the principal and culture in this school is prejudice and abuse their power. They are good experts at covering up bullying issues and only care about the donations they receive.

I have three kids in this school. Kindergarten, 1st and 3rd. All three of my children love this…read moreschool. My oldest has attended 8 schools in her life and says this is her favorite. They have up to date curriculums, free breakfast and lunch for every student, good sports available for all grade levels, after school clubs for older kids, and a fair choice of extra curricular activities, like: dance, music, pe, karate, ect. I love that the campus is fenced in. Teachers are nice and happy. Really great for the kids and push reading. They have excelled my kids even though they are at a more excelled level then their peers. They don't get lost in the class but encouraged with harder materials. The downfalls: bus transportation is not organized. Don't show up at stops on time. Sometimes an hour late. The drivers don't control the kids very well either. The campus looks run down. Playgrounds are small and no field. The cafeteria is outdoors. Very hot during the summer and very cold during the winter. The outdoor portion only works for two months out of the school year. The office does not answer their phones and when voicemails are left they do not return your calls. Hard to get a hold of on the phone. In person is fine.

A lot of the teachers here have been with Canyon Rim since I went there and it opened in 2003, I really think that speaks volumes!! The principal, Mr Lopat, is fabulous. He's at the drop off and pickup car line everyday and loves getting to know the kids and parents. Canyon rim offers a traditional vs conventional classroom options so kids can learn the best way for them. I love this school and would recommend it any day!

Absolutely the worst school my son has ever attended. He was bullied the entire year and then was…read moreturned into the bad guy. Was suspended based off whatever the bully would say to get my son into trouble. No adult proof ever. Even with their 504 plan I have my son in they didn't help him whatsoever. Now because of them I cannot get my son into another school in the district we live in. As a single mother this is beyond frustrating and hurtful, they would never help or listen. The staff is beyond lazy they cannot deal with difficult children in any manner. So what my 10 year old doesn't get a chance to prove himself?? I chose this school based off the rating and reviews and it was the WORST decision I have ever made for my son and because of last year he now struggles from it and NO ONE HELPS YOU EVER. They don't listen. They do NOT CARE. I have never dealt with other parents with their self entitlement bs than I have with this school and it's disgusting.

It will be your biggest regret. If you care about your children, find a school that will care for them as well. this school is not interested in our children's education, rather, they are in it for the money, they sure don't provide what the kids need, they expect the parents to donate everything, even office supplies. where does all the money go that the governments gives them? not on the kids. that's for sure.
