GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have really enjoyed this school. Our daughter is a first grader now and has thrived at this school. We love the all the art, music, maker space classes. The smaller blended classes have been great. I highly recommend this school.

This school is awesome. The teachers are innovative and very involved in my son's success. They think about what he needs and provide lots of opportunities for him to explore. He feels very safe and happy at Alice King. We have homeschooled for years because we were worried about the state of schools and we are so happy we found AKCS. We could not be happier.
