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.

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 think ACIT is a great school to focus on your specified area of study. I am in the Performing Arts Drama Academy and this academy is amazing. I love having more time to focus on what I would like pursue in the future.

I graduated from ACIT around 2 years ago. ACIT is a great school in terms of resources. The school and administration are in contact with many colleges so some students can graduate with Associate's Degrees and, on the technical path, many students can graduate with technical certifications or with jobs lined up in their dream fields. That being said, it's so focused on STEM and the technical path that sports and school spirit really fall to the wayside.

The school can be challenging but if you're passionate about what you want to do in your life and are willing to put an effort into your academics it's worth the experience.

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.
