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.

While it is fun to be able to talk and make friends and the classes do help. The teachers and administration are not the best at all. I would like to see more teachers and administration recognizing that mental health matters. It seems that they just don't care if you're unmotivated or not having a good day and all they care about is their work being done. It is a very good college prep school although.

I loved the supportive teachers, the way we are taught to advocate for ourselves, and the way the teachers teach us thing we'll need down the road. I have always liked learning but the teachers at Abramson, makes learning much more impactful and fun. Band was also another very lifelong support that I had. Band was a place you can go and just have fun and learn more about your instrument. Overall, Abramson Sci Academy has been one of the best experiences I've had. I'm very proud to say that I am a alumni of Abramson Sci Academy.

This school has the most stupidest rules ever. The two rules that are very stupid to me are as follows: 1) you can not wear a "colored" undershirt it has to be black or white , my thing is that they should not be looking at what's under your shirt, what's under your shirt is your business, that's so...

I came to Sci with low standards for myself. Sci teachers and staff showed me that EVERYONE can go to college if you want to. I am a senior this year at Sci and I plan on going to a private college and Sci is making sure that I have all the money I need to go all four years. I love Sci and I feel li...
