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 at Memphis Business Academy for a while never really complained about it. It is a good school and perfect education. The safety at MBA is good and never had trouble with real lock downs I'm proud to go to MBA.

I've been attending MBA, or Memphis Business Academy since 6th grade. 2017 was the year I came in and my entire personality was changed, from being a quiet and shy young girl to a sophisticated and intelligent young adult. My grades were getting better and better overtime, which helped my brain to grow and become stronger in knowledge everyday. Today, I am a 2024 Senior graduate ready to take on any and everything that life throws my way. This school has taught me a lot, and I wouldn't want any piece of advice, guidance, or helpful tips to go down the drain. Life will definitely get harder along the way; however, we must prove to ourselves that no matter what comes our way... we are strong and God will always lead the way for us." -Jayla A. Robinson
