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 am a graduate of DATA and if it weren't for this school and the teachers I would have dropped out entirely. The program for film was out of this world and I had many job opportunities. They helped me excel in every avenue they could even though I was undiagnosed with ADHD and manic depressive disorder at the time.

DATA was the perfect environment for me to develop into a better human. My peers are generally kind, welcoming spirits with little to be lacking in social life,, since the community is so tight-knit. My teachers are understanding and well-versed in acceptance, and are people that have left lasting impacts on me with which I'd like to be friends with for a very long time. I encourage your presence here at this safe, wonderful space. (Not to be cheesy, I just really love it here)

It is not a supportive community for special education students. Warm bodies equal money for charters. They claim they will support students with learning challenges, but not enough is done to help them succeed. You would be better off in public schools. Title 1 schools receive more funding for spec...

I came to work at D.A.T.A. in 2019 and am currently a teacher at this public charter school, having heard great things about it for many years but having always been reluctant to make the transition from teaching at the charter school where I had previously enjoyed working so much. Once I joined thi...

My granddaughters are attending this school and will graduate this year (2021). They have attended since they were sophomores. They have both done so well academically at this school with the small class size. The teachers are amazing. This last 1.5 year of virtual learning has been difficult for ma...
