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 Cultural Academy for the Arts and Sciences was one of my first choices when it came to picking a high school due to it having a culinary class. Well, for now, I'll be entering CAAS as a junior next school year. The staff are some of the nicest people in the school, fun, and understanding. They help me with a lot that's been going on with my life, and they are always someone you can go and talk to. Teachers do their best, but that's something to consider when you think about how rude and lowly most of the students are at CAAS, so you better be kind than whatever they're doing. But overall, the Cultural Academy for the Arts and Sciences is a good school to have a new chapter in your book.
