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]
