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.

Both my daughters attend The Academy. We really love the extra support provided in areas in need of improvement and the challenging academic levels that keep them engaged and excelling.

This is a horrible school. The students are entitled and their behaviors are embarrassing. Admin is a joke and holds no accountability upon students whom they let get away with anything. Many coaches are highly immoral. Teachers are treated like dirt. The board encourages all of this.
