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 part was the support received from the coaches. They always supported the athletes regardless of the sport. Now the down is the education. After enrolling in college I found out that I'm actually behind when it comes to being ready college courses. I would like to see the administration staff change and provide a more positive High School experience for students.

absolute joke of a high school. unfortunately the lesser of the evils in this region. students are awful, administration is incompetent, counselors are indifferent, and only a handful of teachers give a damn about the futures of their students. parents -- this school is NOT what it seems. i went here for five years and each of those years were hell on earth. especially if you fear your child would be considered an "easy target" under some circumstances, they absolutely are and they will be at this school. keep your kids safe; this school shouldn't be what you settle for.

I have been going to Cumberland since 2nd grade, and the school has its ups and downs. If you are someone interested in the arts this is definitely the school for you. It has smaller class sizes, and most teachers are there for you.

I strongly discourage enrolling your child in this school. In my years attending Cumberland Academy from 4th grade until the first month of my freshman year, I was faced with an overwhelming amount of disorganization and toxicity that I have never before witnessed or experienced in a school setting....

I am a current student here. Teachers don’t need a degree to teach here, they have openly admitted this themselves. You cant use the bathrooms due to all the vaping, which is ignored. Gun threats are treated lightly, bullying and sexual assault among students is not acknowledged. Very few teachers a...

It was good at first, but progressively got worse and worse. I’d go into detail but theres just too much to put.
