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.

This is the #1 way we deliver on our promise to students. Our principals participate in a two-year residency before leading a school. Our new teachers start strong with five weeks of summer professional development. Every teacher and leader has a coach who provides individualized feedback and support (and we have some of the lowest coach to teacher ratios around). We join forces on everything we do to be our best for kids.

It gave me hope in the face of darkness. The school provided me with resources and help the gave me the hope and faith to keep trying when no one else did the teacher and staff were so supportive and they even made sure that I understood the material they took off their day in the afternoon to make sure that I was able to gain the material for next day test or quiz although the homework was a bit stressful it helped me in the long run to be a better student but most of all to help me become a better person

Achievement First Bushwick School did a fantastic job in making sure students were academically prepared for college. However, I feel like they didn't prepare students as well financially and socially given that there were many things to pay for and they stressed the behavioral system more than anything else.

Achievement First Bushwick Middle School is a communication disaster. I can never get a response from anyone when I have concerns about my child's education or well-being. The teachers rarely provide feedback, and the principal is virtually unreachable. It's frustrating to be completely ignored as a...

My daughter had been going here since kindergarten. She is now in 2nd grade. Kindergarten through first grade was a great experience. Those two teachers were very informative and engaging with not only my scholar but with me also, keeping me up to date on my child’s progress. I think those are the o...
