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.

John Adams Academy in certain categories is an amazing school, however its rigidity and lack of focus on certain areas significantly affects the school as a whole. Specifically in math and science. They're quite unforgiving as well in terms of discipline. However the community is outstanding as a whole, the people there are some of the nicest you'll meet.
