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.

Attending Stilwell SOTA has been such an amazing experience. Going to perform arts school can be challenging in so many different ways between your academic classes and your art classes, it can be a lot to deal with but its worth it especially if you want to pursue a career in the arts and even if students don't it is still such an amazing opportunity.

I believe that is high school is full of amazing, extremely intelligent and talented staff and students. I am never disappointed when it comes to the teachers ability to teach in an understanding manner and when it comes to the performances of the students. I also appreciate how caring the staff is. I have been struggling due to personal issues since before i enrolled in this school and the faculty has been nothing but understanding and caring towards me.
