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.

Being at Amistad has been a very unique experience and has taught me many valuable lessons that I can take into the real world. At Amistad the culture is very HBCU style which I believe has contributed to my desire to attend an hbcu. Their after school activities has also built a very family oriented environment. I have been apart of drumline since sophomore year and ever since I joined I always felt like I had a second family. That experience is something I truly believe I can't get anywhere else

I understand that its an academic school, but I would like to see if get funded more, especially for sports, because that would be the cherry on top for the school.

My adopted son has been attending Amistad Middle School and I must say it has been nothing short of a NIGHTMARE. Never in my life have I seen children constantly mistreated and spoken to like they are beneath the teachers. We have had several meetings with teachers to explain our sons abusive histor...

I love the school this is my daughter 5th year in the school. She is the youngest in her peer group and she is above average in most of her subject. The school teachers are easy to reach via email or text. This was the best thing I did for my child.
