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 loved attending Mountain Heights Academy. When I made the switch from public school, my only regret was not doing it sooner. The teachers are incredible and very helpful with anything you need. Despite it being an online school, the teachers still make an effort to get to know students as well as they can and encourage collaboration between students. Mountain Heights is an outstanding school, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Mountain Heights Academy is a welcoming and inclusive school and environment for not just students, but teachers, parents, etc as well. I have been at MHA since 8th grade and am now a Senior in High School. I have never had a bad experience or interaction while attending Mountain Heights Academy.

I really like Mountain Heights Academy. It is an online public charter school. I do all of my work at home and can talk to my teachers on the phone. I think this kind of school works very well for me because I have severe anxiety and I feel a lot more able to focus on my schoolwork in this type of environment.

I have five kids, all going to different high schools in the area. #4 opted for online (pre-pandemic), and it was a good move for him (anxiety issues in a huge high school, not really into all the social stuff). I stayed quite involved in his day to day, checking in on what was being taught, assignm...
