    Last year at Basis Tucson there was about 125 8th graders and this year the 9th grade class has about 80 kids now give or take a few. Parents pull their kids out of Basis and put them in a more traditional high school so that they can have that experience. Basis kids have enough credits to graduate at the 11th grade, not all stick around for their senior year. Maybe you need to look at the 10th grade having 70 students and in 11th there are around 70 as well (give or take a few). There are numerous ways to receive tutoring provided by their peers. All students from 9-12 take the AP tests so by the 12th grade these kids have taken these test and have had the opportunity to do their best because they are prepared.
