Barrow Arts and Sciences Academy, also known as BASA, is a STEM and arts-focused high school in Winder, Georgia, United States, serving grades 9–12.[1] It has an enrollment of 1,064 students.[2] The school has the highest graduation rate in Barrow County, at 97.8%.[3] Unlike traditional high schools, BASA runs on a lottery system that any high school student can enter regardless of their location in the county. The school is home to the BASA "Blazers."
During the Covid-19 pandemic, face masks were optional at the school.[4] In 2023, the school announced they would no longer have a track team, sparking arguments with the school board.[5] [6]
The BASA campus is home to an amphitheater called the "Innovation Ampitheater" that hosts events, both school related and not, often.[7] The campus of BASA is connected to those of SIMS Academy and Lanier Technical College's Barrow campus.
