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.

The teachers are very helpful and have at least one "live-lesson" a week. The classes are good lengths, with there being slides of notes for almost every single lesson in each unit.

My experience with this highschool was amazing. It basically saved my over all highschool career. the classes were amazing, the envolvment of the teachers was very interactive and the timeline to work done was amazingly flexible. The only thing was "bad" about the school were some of the teachers, I only had two teachers that were bad but thats it. I would say overall Iowa Connections Academy was probably the best I could have gone too.

Connections academy has an excellent academic program. They are well established and have a wide variety of courses. The flexibility in the schedule and coursework is just what our daughter needed to get focused on her studies. She flourished in the environment and was able to manage her ADD and drastically turn her grades around and work at the level she has always been capable of. This has built her self esteem back and now realizes just how capable she is.
