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.

It had its ups and it had its down. I think that it could use improvement on the extracurriculars such as clubs but besides that it was a school and it filled its purpose.

Sport and Medical Sciences Academy offers a great variety of classes. The teachers try their best to educate the students and create a connection with them. There are a lot of sports and clubs for students to participate in and entertain themselves with.

What I like about SMSA is the involvement that teachers and administrators have with the students. Along with the employees like the lunch ladies, Janitors and security guards. They all connect well with the students and make a safe and progressive environment. What I would like to see be changed in SMSA is the increase in safety measures for students. I would also like to see the students treat the teachers with respect.

I attended this school from 2008-2009 and graduated. I loved it! The teachers were fun, the students were sociable, and the variety of classes that are offered to you are more than sufficient when applying to colleges.
