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.

This school prepares well for college, but they don't care about their students. They care about test scores and how the school looks versus how people actually are doing. They don't do anything about issues going on within the school. There's a huge lack of diversity too. They really only care about academics and nothing about the well-being of their students. Teachers are either really great or don't seem to care about teaching at all.

I like the way each class connects to another class, or to a real life scenario. The school works to include everyone.

Overall a good experience. It is a very competitive school which cna out a lot of stress on the students. Academics are strong but teachers are not always the most understanding. School culture is different from many public schools. Sports and arts are almost always out second and there is not a lot of school community in that aspect. Facilities are rough(although they are being updated) and administration doesn't always listen to students voices.

Almost like a light switch, school became more engaging, curious and enjoyable. There are some drawbacks, the facilities are...
Amsa is a very hard school to go to for homework, strict teachers, and mostly social things. It's too chaotic, and the only good thing about AMSA is getting into a decent college. So if you're a parent or guardian reading this thinking about sending your child to Amsa, I suggest you think about it f...
My daughter is currently a Junior at AMSA and has been at the school since 6th grade. The teachers and administration are top notch and creative. Since she has been at AMSA, the sports programs have grown along with clubs and arts. State test scores have been at the top as well. We love being a part...
Students - Parents - most teachers ( my colleagues.) great! However, the administration was a disgrace especially in the way in which they handled staff. Rather than supporting teachers they subjugated them with a total power over approach. Check out the history of the leadership and you will find a...
