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.

The Magnet Academy for Cultural Arts is a very great place to attend school. There are many great opportunities presented to you at this school. I have personally grown over the years due to all of the positivity received through this school. MACA is a great place and children thrive at the Magnet Academy for Cultural Arts.

I have been through a lot of ups and downs during my time at the Magnet Academy for Cultural Arts. It has been fun the past five years and it's going to be heartbreaking saying goodbye. I'm gonna miss my friends and teachers who have helped me along the way. I wouldn't wanna spend the last five years at any school but the Magnet Academy for Cultural Arts. It is most definitely a second home to me that I'm going to miss.
