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.

High turnover rate of teachers. The Core Knowledge program is great. Reading and math have strong programs. Unfortunately administration is very poor, which is often the cause of why so many teachers leave. The students are wonderful. The academics are good. The teachers are doing the best they can considering the poor administration.

It is simple enough that they not only let kids bully other kids but they pick on the kid that is being bullied like they are the one that is the bully. They don't listen to your concerns. And they treat you like you don't know anything and they know all. It's supposed to be a school for learning but it's just a school that thinks they are more important than your kid. If you want your kid to be bullied then send your kid here. They create more problems for your kid.

My experience in this school so far has been great. A lot of the teachers are friendly and are willing to help you. Furthermore, this school is unique because there are teachers willing to help you and to raise your grade higher and help you reach your goals.

I love this school and how much it has helped my son! It's clear that the teachers are committed to meeting the needs of every individual. Classes aren't small, but there is an assistant teacher in every classroom, so kids get the individual help they need. My son has grown by leaps and bounds since...

APA has done wonderful things for my two sons. Both of my children were below grade level in Reading and Math when we came to APA. After 2 years, they are now at grade level. I truly believe my youngest son would not be reading at all if it weren't for this school. In addition to all that, when we w...
