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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I've been going to University Academy since I was in kindergarten, and change has been a huge thing. There's been teachers that have come and gone, but the kids never stopped showing up and getting their work done whether their teacher was there or not.

What I like about University Academy is that they give a good amount of work to the point where it is not overwhelming with the work and the teachers give great instructions about how to do it and if you have questions they are more than likely available. Another thing I also like is that the classes are small so it is more time for 1-on-1 with students and teachers.
