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 do independent study at mca and it's a really chill place to go. it's easy to learn off of online school and when i go in to take tests the staff are really kind. most of the daily students are delinquents but everyone respect for one another. everyone has one reason or another for being at mca rather than a public school so we're all just nice to each other.

Now called Murrieta Canyon Academy (MCA), my overall experience is amazing. Due to my medical conditions and constant doctor's appointments, transferring the MCA has allowed me to stay on track with my studies, while being able to adjust my schedule as necessary. My teachers and administrative personnel are continuously motivating and guiding all students.

I'd give it an 8/10. Murrieta schools are really large and that didn't work for every child. I'm grateful that Murrieta Canyon Academy offers a smaller campus for kids that need more one on one attention.
