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 honestly don't know how this is rated as an A school. I was never able to put my finger on it, but too many students are reading and writing a few grades below their grade level. The environment from the administration is toxic, bordering on abusive. It's, unfortunately, the best alternative for many families in Gadsden.

Attending Crossroad Academy has been the best thing that happen in my 17 years of life. This school prepared me for my future. Attending Crossroad helped me think academically and mentally for the route I am heading going to college. The only thing I would like to change is to have more electives.

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.
