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.

I have attended the school for many years, and although there are many ups and downs, I would not have gone anywhere else. The school has some rules that are taken for granted and make sense, such as a policy for no phones. While some students see this as absurd, I believe it was one of the best decisions made. It makes sure we interact with others and aren't glued to a screen 24/7. I enjoyed my time at Utica Academy and will miss many of the staff members, mainly my counselor.

This school has so many problems. The tiles are falling and the floor is bumpy in the gym also it's overall unsanitary. Theres rust growing on the lockers in the changing room and that's not sanitary and it can ruin clothing. There's many more problems but since the timing right now being sanitary is important

utica academy is a great school to attend. everyone at uas is very respectful and we treat anyone that walks through the front doors like family. uas has Saturday school which is optional to attend and it is a time when you get extra help on assignments and u really get to know your teachers. anytime you need help us as students are not scared to ask for it.
