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.

At first, I didn't know what to expect coming to the school but after being in it for four years, I can really say it's been an experience. And a fun one at that, I got to experience things I never thought I'd experience before. I got to do fun activities considering it's an art school. I got to meet new people, and now that I'm about to be graduating soon, they're really attentive with helping us find the best college experience that suits our needs. I really recommend the school if you want to explore the arts more and discover more about yourself.

Capa has been one of the most happiest experiences in my life. When I got here I was introverted and now I'm not. This place helps so much but at the same time we need improvement just like any other school.
