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.

Great if you wanna go for dance, theater, or draw/paint. Mid at best if you're going for anything else. Academic options are pretty limited, especially in math. Culture was OK but not really my favorite.

ACMA is a very welcoming school. Every student there is passionate about their art focus and is focused on their own artistic journey. The curriculum class teachers also incorporate art into our class projects. The electives that are offered here are electives that are not offered at other schools in the district. I follow a dance pathway. The dance teachers educate us on how to survive in this profession and offer us connections to other professionals in the dance community. All teachers are very focused on providing students with the resources they require to pursue an artistic career.

I attended ACMA for 6-12, and I really loved it. I felt well supported by my teachers, like I had a comfortable social life, and was very involved with NHS, ACMA Theatre Company, and choir.

They teach really well and they are nice and give you a good amount of homework. The classrooms are great and well maintained. The amount of ch...

Our child was treated like an outcast because of their disability. The school did not support them. They let our child down. As long as you are not too disabled, and meet the style of children they are looking for, you will do just fine.

A+ if you can get in. It is not open to all. You have to apply and if you care for your children I would highly recommend it.
