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.

L.A. Ainger is not a good middle school. If you live in the area, send your child to Sky Academy instead. In my experience here, talk (and sometimes presence) of drugs and alcohol were rampant. Most of the teachers are mediocre, some were pretty bad. They do not help the 6th graders ease into the transition of elementary school to middle school. My time here was the worst 2 years of my life.
