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.

Arizona School for the Arts has been my school since 2017. I have been here long enough to understand the ways they have changed and what their values are as both a school and a community. Located pretty close to downtown, it is in the heart of Phoenix. ASA values music instead of sports. If your family typically values music over sports, then ASA is the school for you.

This is by far the best school.I have NO homework. I don't know what everyone is talking about. I am in all AP with straight A's and have maybe 20 minutes a day. The teachers are amazing and treat the students like innovative thinkers rather than kids they have to babysit. Children with mental healt...
