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 don't have enough words. I was a PCCA student since 3rd grade, and I left right before my freshman year of high school. PCCA student and parent culture is very right-wing; if you don't agree with those opinions and ideals, you're going to have a hard time at that school. Along with that, teachers show their political biases, which, in my opinion, shouldn't be shown to influential kids.I have heard from friends that there are creeps at the school, ranging from seniors and juniors hitting on middle school students to some of the boys looking up girls skirts and trying to sexually assault them. Other than the horrible student life, the classes are actually pretty good, especially the literature aspect. They had me read Shakespeare in 5th grade, and they challenge their students academically. If you don't mind the horrible student life and only care about academics, then sure, PCCA might be an okay choice, but there are much better schools out there for your kid.

7 incident reports in 2 weeks!!! 8 by the time I got there to rip my daughter out on the last day. We went to the lead administrator Katie after accident #3. They are supposed to have a 3x policy. The teachers told me administration is horrible and to call DCF. I didn’t want to go over board so wait...
