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.

One of the most radical agendas in public schools, very little focus on academics, more on social issues ie gender ideology and far left leaning politics. Not math or science focused. Do not send your children here , worse than your regular local public schools.

Parents, if you would like to be a stakeholder in your child's education or the environment they learn in, don't send your child to SA. This school is run (very inefficiently) by a bunch of narcissists that believe they know what's best for your child academically, mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Our kids have been going to Socrates since Kindergarten and are now in 8th grade. I can honestly say it was the best choice for them. The academics are top notch, especially in math. We have loved the warmth and personal attention, the small class sizes, the excellent and creative teachers and we lo...
