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.

I've been at CMA since I was a freshman. Small but powerful school in DPS. Very connected and family oriented. New facilities are on the horizon and culture within the building will begin to shift far greater than it currently is.

I had 3 children attend CMA. All Graduated and off to college and working. I would definitely recommend CMA to anyone. You have your pros and cons at Every School. A lot of times we complained about the detention. Which I find funny today because 2 of my children said that prepared them for college and being to work on time aka responsibilities (which they also learned at home). Most schools don't know your child by name or have a personal relationship with the parents. Happy Retirement Mrs. Odom and Congratulations Mrs. Cox

CMA is a great environment for students seeking a safe secure place to learn. CMA has many offerings for students, athletics, clubs and organization. The work is rigorous and rewarding. Students are known by name. There is something for everyone.

It takes allot for me to say I hate something and I really absolutely hate this school with all my heart. It is unfair how we are treated as students. To all the parents that read my comment I know all the other comments are good but take it from me this is not a good school at all. I have about 45...
