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 current sophomore student at the Public Safety Academy, attending since the 5th grade. This school has shaped me into the person I am today. Between the rigorous academics, the inviting and experienced teachers, and the closely knit student relationships, this school has prepared me for me and my peers futures better than any other school would.

Public Safety Academy is a great school for students who are hard workers and are goal-oriented thinkers. Though it doesn't have sports at the school, it still has a lot of experiences that you can get nowhere else.
