Banning Academies of Creative and Innovative Sciences (BACIS) [1] was a high school [2] in Wilmington, California. BACIS was one of two public high schools that are co-located on the Banning complex. [3] BACIS was part of Los Angeles Unified School District. [4]

BACIS was created as part of LAUSD's Public School Choice process, [5] through which the School Board encouraged teacher teams to develop plans to restructure failing schools. [6] As a chronically underperforming school, [7] Banning was required to participate in the fourth round of Public School Choice, which concluded with Superintendent John Deasy approving the BACIS school plan. BACIS opened as a Small Learning Community in August 2013, and became an autonomous school in August 2014.

The school closed down on July 30, 2018.[ citation needed ]
