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.

I came to ACPA to experience a diverse and welcoming environment and I got just that. I was heavily bullied at my old school but at ACPA there were so many people like me that I could be my self. I will always be grateful to attend ACPA despite its up and downs and I'm gonna miss when I leave for college
