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 have enjoyed my time here at Jose Marti, and I know that once I walk that stage on graduation, I'll miss this school very much. Not only was it involved in STEM programs, they were willing to listen to their students and tried to find anything that would fit all students' interests. They also provided a multitude of opportunities, whether it would be a bunch of different clubs or college fairs. This school has been involved with so many of my positive memories and I will miss this school when I turn the page and start a new chapter of my life.

The best part of my experience is the college readiness. The supervisor here is always looking out for opportunities that students can take part in, whether that be programs, internships, etc.

The experience at Jose Mart STEM Academy was alright. The school seems to actually challenge students now which is good so that the school overall gets a better reputation academically. So it's heading in the right direction. I would say that the administration gets strict sometimes.
