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 had previously heard such great things about Alpha Academy. I don't know when that changed but I would not recommend this school to anyone. Let's start with the admin who are really unorganized and uninformed. None of the kids like the school lunch and I was even suggested by a staff member to just pack my kid's lunch. If your kid needs a 504 or an IEP, forget about it, you'll get the run around because they don't want to pay for services. All they do is teach for the standardized testing they take and they don't grade for their resources classes like art and gym. Bullying goes unchecked and gets passed off as an accident after they pull your kid in a back room and try to gaslight them. Teachers will not advocate for the kids if that means being honest about the school not doing their job on so many different levels. Staff will get disrespectful for holding them accountable. And no transparency about why all of sudden they're requiring clear backpacks. Don't send your kid here.

I will say their structured education system is much better than what I’ve experienced in regular public schools, which is a big plus.But…Charging $20 for one school shirt while still not having a playground for the kids? That doesn’t sit ri...
