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.

My experience at Foundation Academies has been good throughout the 4 years I have been there. Transitioning from a public school into a charter school was a huge step for me. Foundation definietly puts the kids in front of them. The teachers try their best to provide help for the students even if it's tutoring or extra curriculum activities outside of school. The high school campus of Foundation prepares their scholars begining their freshman year until their senior year. Teachers can be there to educate their students but as well give advice in general and that is what cretaes most bonds between student and faculty members.

Foundation Academy from the start of my 5th grade year has always promised me that I will be able to go to college. Now that my senior year is coming to an end I can proudly say I will be attending a 4 year university. Throughout high school teachers have sat next to me to make my journey to college. Although it was tough for my family and I, with their help I feel like I am in a good place.

My experience was great. however, I really do not know if this school would be great for students who doesn't like to follow a lot of rules they have.

It is the Best School in Trenton, however, students who are not receiving free or reduced lunch and have high honors do not receive any meaningful financial assistance from the school for college. The school constantly posts the amount of "Grant" money its students receive each year, but fails to in...

Nothing short of a great experience with Foundation. One child graduated in 2015, second child in 3rd grade. Teachers are involved, engaging, and care for the children. Curriculum has great flexibility and opportunities for students that are more proficient in areas than other students. Highly recom...
