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.

Dt or Digital Arts is an amazing school full of life and diversity. The school is dedicated to allow all students to be open and free to feel safe. I honestly would like more men in the school preferably African American Men, to represent us gentlemen

I have attended this school from 2019 and I am now graduating in 2023. I have met a lot of teachers who I have gotten very close with and they help me a lot with my academics and they even support me with personal decisions. I highly suggest going to this school.
