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.

Madison Park Business & Art Academy is one of the most welcoming schools I've attended. I have been at Madison Park since 6th grade and its the same thing every year. Teachers and staff really care about the students future and help them strive to succeed. They also offer so much support to students not only with their education but outside school activities as well. Its more of a family school.

Madison Park Business & Art Academy is a very poor quality school. The students leave trash everywhere, teachers and staff are okay, our sports program might be the best thing we have here.

I went to MPA for 6th - 9th grade and it was an okay experience. Every year, teachers would leave and there wasn't really a lot of opportunities for students there. They've also been building the high school building for over a year now and have been stalling on the opening date. They lack in extracurricular activities that are common in other high schools. Administration is very unorganized. Students at MPA lack school spirit.
