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.

The school was run down, running with rats. Used stupid yonder pouches for phones. Administration does not know how to do their jobs.

i've been at arcadia for 4 years and i've either had awful teachers or great ones. the academics are either too hard or too easy. i've met my best friends here and i'm really grateful for that. the music department is the best thing about the school. there's so much passion and hard work. unfortunately, they get no funding especially for their school musical. all of the money goes to sports or new clocks for some reason. there are several fights a week and countless students vaping and doing drugs in bathrooms. the environment isn't very positive. the only reason i was okay with going to school was to see my friends and a few teachers.

The teachers here are not interested in helping you graduate, and the drop...

This school is one of the worst schools in the district. Most teachers don't care about their students and wont help. The principle is not helpful and she does not care about a student or their problems unless they have high grades or are athletic. She doesn't like to help students who are being thr...
