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.

My experience with ACIT has taught me a lot. For my academy track being culinary Arts it has pointed me into the right direction of what I want in life. The chefs (teachers) really prepare you for the real world and show that dream actually come true.

I absolutely love this school and it's opportunities it gives for us high schoolers. The teachers are literally the best and teach you very well.

good security though some of the rules seemed a little outdated; also feel as though the school should do more research on the places they allow to fundraise things and take student complaints about staff a little bit more serious.

Cosmetology classes are very unorganized and dusty. It looks like no one has clean it for a long time. The countertop over the sink where you get your hair wash is falling apart, almost all the sink are clogged, if not then they are leaked. The waxing heater is cover with wax. Terrible. Please do no...

I recently judged the Congressional STEM Competition at ACIT and I was extremely impressed with the innovation and presentation techniques of the senior students.
