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.

To find the really good students, you have to be very inquisitive and look very nicely. Almost all the students here are either racist, homophobic, sexist, and just plain out terrible.

Poor. Low expectations. Students from Aquila are not prepared for middle school.

My son is having a great experience at Aquila. The teachers are engaging and work with him in his development as a student.
