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.

My daughter was at a charter school previously. We moved her in 3rd grade because she needed more structure. She loves art. It is what helps to calm and center her.

We’ve had a great experience at AAM so far. They offer wonderful arts integration and arts instruction in music, dance and visual arts. The teachers are caring. The PTA is very engaged in supporting all students. It feels like a tight-knit community.
