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 really enjoy attending Ivy Academy. It is an outdoor based school so we go outside a lot during the school day. I am able to learn about the world around me while actually interacting with it. This was a whole new concept to me and I really enjoy it. My school helps my peers and I be environmentally conscious and recognize newer solutions to ongoing problems.

Keep in mind, these test scores are from years past before Ivy transitioned from an alternative school, into a high-performing middle/high school! My daughter was part of their first 6th grade class and is now entering her freshman year. We have LOVED it!
