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.

Manhattan Village Academy is a great school that pushes you to greatness and prepares you for college and the future. The course load is rigorous compared to other high schools but it makes a big difference in your academic career.

I think this school is very nice, and it has a nice community. I believe it offers many courses and many opportunities for students attending, yet it doesn't have a lot of money to afford much. I think the uniform for this school is cute, and the teachers are very nice and understanding.
