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.

Nothing special. I wouldn't consider this school being ideal especially if you want a high school full of clubs, extra curricular, trips, and sports. They're pretty limited on those areas

This was a school that was close to home and close to most bus routes. The staff at this school was always pushing to help their students.

Mastery was a good experience for me but right after I knew I graduated I thought I was ready for college and I slacked off every since then. Now that college pressure is slowly creeping up on me. But back to mastery their food was pretty decent, the teacher there they want the best for you but you have to prove you want the best for yourself. They are always involved in the community and everyone their is family

Far as the curriculum I don't think my child is being challenge enough and all Mastery schools are primarily concer...
Mastery Charter school- Shoemaker works extremely hard to provide a college prep education for NEIGHBORHOOD students. The teachers place rigorous behavior and academic expectations on all students so that NO child is left behind.
Ok, so yeah mastery has it good things I have to admit. They pay for really expensive tests that are required for application to college. They call themselves college prep school and they do help students with the college application process, but they prepared students to be mediocre. We can't choos...
