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.

Vail Academy is a school that focuses on the small things, and doesn't focus on the important things at hand. The school caters to elementary school. There are also really no classes to get you interested in a career.

It is a very friendly school where everyone knows each other. Because it is a smaller school we have less clubs and electives, but you can still take classes at Pima Community College and sports at Mica Mountain High School.

This school does very well when it comes to a student's education and safety. On the downside, they are not good in the extracurricular activity area. They have minimal after school clubs and barely any sports.

The thing I like most about the high school is the small class sizes. Many time there are less than 20 students in a class. Teaches are able to give the students individual help and get to know them personally.
