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 incentives for positive behavior and focuses on critical thinking. Having more extracurriculars could give the students a way to explore more varied interests.

Team Academy was a major step for me growing up because I felt like there was family there. The team spirit is very bright and strong and the teacher care about the students.

I like that the teachers care greatly about your academic readiness,and they help you prepare for the outside world.TEAM Academy helps you learn street smarts,and school smarts,rather than just academics,because in life,you will come across other challenges,and most schools,don't teach you these things.
