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.

The best experience I had at Sonoran Science Academy, was during my high school years. The high school teachers are great, and many of them have a lot of experience. I learned more from them than I did from my middle school teachers. I think that what needs to be changed is that there should be a separation between the high school and middle school kids and teachers, there should be a separate building for them. I believe it would be better that way.

There tends t...
