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 am a student at this school and although I have been doing well this year with grades. These teachers and Administration is terrible, although it wasn't my math 3 teacher's fault. She's not mentally and generally ready to teach us. She's freshly out of college and was ready to teach 7th grade until one of the teachers left and she had to fill in. In her words "I don't know what I'm doing,I'm learning with yall". Even with us bringing this up administration doesn't care to bring an end to this or figure out for their "students" to actually learn. This school falling apart as we speak.

Mercedes P. Phoenix academy is awesome. The teachers are always involved in the kids learning. They make sure they are understanding what they are doing to achieve with there grades . My daughter has had some great teachers that cared and was always there to help her through some struggles. I recommend this school to all.

The general sense is that new buildings and money coming in is more important than individual students' needs, like having right...

Administration is the problem, far more concerned about overall enrollment to get more money for their charter than for the individual student. The principal is horrible and has the worst interpersonal skills when dealing with parents

They don't do anything if your child is discriminated against. They is not fair and equal treatment. They have kids bringing or threatening to bring guns to school and want to keep quite about it. Do not send your child here.

My son attended Phoenix Academy for 4 years, but this school year has been the most difficult — especially for my kindergartener, who did not attend Pre-K.From the start, communication with the school has been poor. It took over a month just to schedule a meeting about my child’s academic progress....
