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.

All of the teachers care about the students. They go above and beyond to help students reach their academic and personal goals. They push us to try new things and explore new options.

Pretty much a standard high school but there are extremely focused on college and this school is small for a high school, this years graduating class didn't even reach 100 students. About half of the graduation requirements are college oriented and they have an entire period senior year devoted to college and scholarships. Other than that, Mapleton Expeditionary School of the Arts is just like every other high school.
