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.

We love Old Town Academy! We see teachers that are trying their hardest every day. Our kid is thriving. The small school environment means everyone gets a chance to be heard and teachers grow to understand the needs of each student. Visit the school and see for yourselves!
