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.

Academy of Tucson High School is a good School. It prepares you for college and even offers college classes. I like how small the campus is, it gives students the opportunity to get with teachers about things they may be struggling with. I would like to have better food, the food isn't terrible but i wouldn't mind better food.

Academy was a great choice for me. Throughout my high school career I got to join choir, student council, theater, volleyball, and softball. I also was apart of many clubs that took place during lunch and after school. This school is. Great choice.

Academy of Tucson is an excellent college prep school. Not only do you receive one on one help from teachers but there is also a sense of equality. Students from many different backgrounds come to this school and are welcomed with open arms. With a total number of students of about 160, this small school environment is perfect for the developing of minds. The teachers actually care about the performance of each student as well as their health. When I don't understand a concept or start to fall behind, I can immediately go to a teacher and they make time for me. The only thing that needs to improve is the resources. The school lacks certain resources in order for students to be more prepared once graduated. I have been in this school district since kindergarten and am now senior so I am confident to recommend this school to anyone looking for a challenging and stimulating high school.

Mediocre at best. Somebody said that it looks like a dentist's office. It really does. It lacks so much that other schools readily offer.

There is no room for PE, homecoming party, football or soccer games nothing of the sort for this school whatsoever. What they do with the money they raise is anybody's guess; it is certainly not investing in building a little bit of a bigger campus for the students. The homeschool that they chose is...
