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.

The Academy of Tucson is a pretty small high school but it is evident that they do their best to nourish the "high school experience" for their students. Since the classrooms are small, the teacher-student relationships are friendly and beneficial. Teachers also show interest and concern for each student.

There is no room for PE, homecoming party, football or soccer games nothing of the sort for this school whatsoever.
