The program was also to integrate reading and mathematics instruction. [3]
In the federal 2006 fiscal year, The U.S. Department of Education awarded the school $476,753 for a five-year "Smaller Learning Communities" grant. [3] Since that point, Bassick High School has cycled through various academic models.

Bassick's basketball team boasts several great successes, including the 1940 and 1989 Connecticut state championships, [5] and three more finals appearances, in 1939, 2000 and 2004. [6] More recently, the team qualified for the semifinals of the 2015 Connecticut state championship, before losing to Bunnell High School of Stratford. [7]
