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 knowledge and connections one gains throughout the pathway programs is extremely valuable. I will likely cherish the advice of my pathway teachers for the remainder of my life. Despite these wonderful aspects, I feel personally that the school has become a breeding ground for unhealthy competition, especially in terms of academics.

I am a rising senior at Alliance Academy for Innovation and I love it there. I have been at the school since I was a freshman and I felt like it has excellent resources. I have found my place at Alliance and love the culture there. The teachers are very nice and love to help out wherever they can. The people are amazing and I have made several lifelong friends there. The school building itself is very large and is equipped with everything a student could want.

I think AAI is overall a good school, but I wish that encouraged more creative pathways. I also wish that it was less competitive. I would say that the importance placed on college is part of the reason. Also it's culture places a lot of value on high grades which is unfair to those who don't do as good at school.

The teachers are so engaging with the students. This school is for all students on different levels. The small classroom sizes were a plus for us. Alliance Academy prepared my son to for an internship at end of his junior year in high school.
