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.

Phoenix Coding Academy is a small high school of about 400 and you definitely get to know all your classmates. With a curriculum that is challenging in many aspects, PCA is a great way to prepare a high school student for college, especially if they're aspiring for a computer science major. The teachers and staff genuinely care, making for a positive learning environment.

I love Phoenix Coding Academy; I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. This small but mighty community is accepting and sets you up for success. There is much room for growth, and the incoming students can mold the school into what they need because our curriculum and methods are very malleable.

I loved the teachers, integrated courses and for the most part hands on experience. I hope in the future we can see more streamlined courses and consistency.
