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.

We're so lucky to have found MPA. It's like a gem in Cleveland that not many people know about. My kid is happy and the school always has events and things to keep parents involved. Best school ever.

I have never seen a more destructive school in all my years as a parent and teacher. There have been more principals than the number of years they have been open and teachers must fight with the board on basic concepts on which the board has no training but many opinions. I lasted one year as a teacher and parent at this school. I pulled my son because no amount of gifted education is worth the chaotic nature of the school.

I am not sure how it is rated the number one charter school in Ohio. There are such high turnover rates for all staff because they treat their workers terribly and do not listen to any of their concerns. The students and teachers are great, but the Board does not care about the students or teachers so it does not matter. The student-teacher ratio is not 15-1 because teachers are quitting left and right and they can not replace them. The concept of the school might be good, but it is very poorly executed.
