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.

I've been going to this school since kindergarten, I am a rising senior now. If I still live in the area if have kids, no doubt i'm definitely sending them here. Throughout my whole time at Renaissance Academy i've made personal connections with the teachers here in a way i couldn't in public school. it's awesome because you know everyone, and the school is very accepting and welcoming. if you need help in academics, your teachers are always willing to help you. I also feel very supported in my college search and i feel happy that i am getting help and attention in ways i couldn't at a bigger school.

In reflecting on my education experience with an inadequate Individualized Education Program (IEP), I would rate it as 2 out of 5. The IEP's intention to cater to my specific learning needs fell short due to a lack of personalized teaching methods that aligned with my learning style. The support sys...

I have attended RA for a while. Not nearly as long as others, but a significant time. I can say that without a doubt the school has changed me for the better. I was very different when I attended my town’s public school. I feel that the small community at RA has truly benefitted me. That being said,...

This school is run to benefit the children of staff members. Favoritism is rampant and demoralizing to the rest of the student body. Academically, there is little rigor and many students struggle in college. The only good thing to say about this school is it is better than one low performing, poor l...
