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.

The main thing I like about Crossroad Academy is how everyone feels connected to each other. The school is not very big, so that allows everyone to connect with each other whether that be students and faculty, or faculty and parents.

Crossroad has always made sure that their students aren't left behind. They ensure that all students are passing all of their classes. In addition, Crossroad Academy makes you feel safe and welcome under any circumstances. The staff has always treated the students as if we were one of their own, which makes the environment very comfortable and easy to work in.

I like that Crossroad Academy is a school that actually cares about their students. Most new students who come are surprised when all of the staff knows who they are. I would change the lunch food because I never eat it. Overall I have had a good experience with Crossroad Academy.

This is not the school to place your child! Many of the teachers are not certified to teach in any state and behave worse than the students. This is a leaderless school and should be taken over by KIPP, Edison Schools, CharterUSA or an entity that knows what charter schools are designed for...

It's just not perfect for students to learn at CACS. Don't even dare to send your children to this school.

Happy to say that Crossroad Academy (CACS) have incorporated the 9th grade into their great school of excellence. Way to go Crossroad. Waiting for the other high school grades to follow.
