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.

As a homeschooling parent of 3 children, schooling can be challenging. Recently, our family switched from another virtual school to Commonwealth Charter Academy. I am highly satisfied with CCA and their staff communication, ease of having all school information on one platform, and the activities and opportunities the school provides.

I am writing to share my experiences and seek your views on Cyber Charter Schools in Pennsylvania. CCA has provided support and resources that were lacking in traditional schools, effectively utilizing tax dollars for supplies, curriculum, and equipment. No student is left unsupported.
