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.

Anderson Creek Academy is a wonderful highly academic small school. It relies on a certain level of dedication from it's staff, parents, and students to maintain high standards. Being a school of choice, it certainly may not be everyone's cup of tea and that's ok. Students are well prepared to further their education when they leave ACA.

Staff never stays...huge turnover rates and teachers are miserable working here under the admin. staff. Definitely better to go elsewhere. Nothing special about this school other than they give special privileges to non-military.

Our experience with this school has been horrible. It's not even a school, it's more like a daycare for school aged kids. Leadership is highly ineffective. Communication is terrible. Several teachers are in the classrooms without certification. Our experience in Harnett County Public Schools was so much better. Please think twice before sending your child here.

All of the teachers are gone....AGAIN and we were not notified whatsoever. They cannot treat their staff well enough to stick around but the staff who are personal friends of the principal receive bonuses and promotions left and right. No wonder the good teachers leave! This school should be ashamed...
