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 was in the IB MYP program, and drove myself into the ground working. I was involved in nearly everything, and left middle school exhausted. I struggled with my peers, but teachers and other admin were pretty supportive and caring.

I love Plaza Middle School and I have the best experience attending. I think that the teachers have been amazing and compatible. Sometimes people can get loud or disrespectful in the halls but it all goes away within 5 minutes and everything is back to normal.

Plaza is a great school that has afforded my child a fantastic education. The IB program exposes the students to creative and broad educational content that is difficult to find elsewhere.

The academy is great however the academy kids are with the general population during lunch and electives which is the downfall of coming here. The neighborhood kids are cursing, fighting and make the entire decision to come here questionable.
