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've been in this school since kindergarten and I've seen this school grow. We've had struggles whether it was keeping a consistent location or have money loss. My overall experience was very educational and taught me lessons. This is definitely a diverse community you would want to be apart of.

I loved Global as a school. I just wished that when we got to High school it felt like an actual high school. I have been attending Global Communications academy since the 2nd grade and there has been ups and downs of people coming in and out but there has always been a good administration team despite the lack in education tactics.
