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.

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 Academy is actually an amazing school overall it gets a bad reputation and is thrown under but in reality there is alot of excellent teachers and staff that encourage education and help each student to succeed. Its a small school so most likely you will at least know just about everyone in your grade but the amount of classes you have access to are alit shorter than a standard school due to us sharing the building with Ruth Asawa School of the Arts
