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.

When at Classical Magnet there hasn't been a day go by when I'm not challenged to do my best. I know that every move I make will have an eventual effect on my progress towards graduation.

Honestly, the school is "okay". The administration recently got better since we got a new principal and we have minor improvements with the curriculum but overall the atmosphere is kinda negative with other students especially if your a "unpopular" kid who doesn't fit in. They don't offer AP Classes which is extremely annoying as-well.

Very bad school with no disipline. They make it seem nice and fancy but it is actually terrible. Most of the teachers hate their jobs and don't care about the students. I learned very little in the time that I went here. The principal of the school is constantly changing which is likely the cause of...
