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.

The school itself isn't bad, as the education and teacher involvement is extremely high. The school isn't that huge so students and teachers will have connections made by proximity, meaning you will always know a guaranteed majority of the student body because you share most classes with them.

Our experience at Cornerstone Academy has been tremendous. We're heading into our 7th year and it's gotten better every year. This is by far one of the best Charter Schools in the Columbus School District. We love it and highly recommend it.
