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.

Great school with a "family-like" feel to it. Teachers, staff, parents and students are very caring . And they are great academically. If your kids are lucky enough to get in (it's a small charter school so it's a lottery system), then will be happy to attend Mater Beach, also known as "MBA".

I am the happiest to have found a school where my children can grow, learn and feel supported and where I feel I also have a voice. Parents are always taken into consideration. I have nothing bad to say about this school.
