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.

MBTA gave me the opportunity to pursue theatre on a much more full time basis. the flexibility in the class schedule allowed me to make time for things that actually mattered to me, rather than sit 8 hours a day in a classroom for an education i didn't want. With MBTA, i left highschool at age 16, getting my GED and graduating a full two years earlier than i would have in a traditional school. The assignments were challenging, but only rarely to the point where they were completely uninteresting.

I never had a problem at this school and I don't recall of one student that did. The teachers and faculty are all really there for the students. Everyone works as a team and the work itself was challenging and creative, putting our brains to work. There was never any peer pressure or acceptance problems. I think due to the fact that this school was online, all the students felt accepted and got along with one another. When we would meet in person everyone was very friendly and welcoming to one another, there was never any problems.

School dress code was great! I could wake up and stay in my pj's if I wanted to. Even when we would attend school for a exam or test they would never care or comment about our dress code.

Unfortunately, we were told the elementary grades are fully homeschool, the middle schoolers are hybrid, and high schoolers are fully online and taught by teachers...

My son has gone to MBTA for 3rd and now fourth grade. Great School for Parent freedom. He likes the Jr. FLL class and how we only have to go down to the school 2 x per month. You get to pick the curriculum you teach your child. They do provide funds for curriculum and/or extracurricular activities....
