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 fell in love with this school. It was definitely worth all the paperwork and the connections you make with the teachers is nothing like I have seen. They use all possibilities for every child to be successful and it felt like an honest to god place. Every student is given every possible to succeed and it is such a diverse place with people coming from way different backgrounds both economically and socially.

I am an alumni from San Jose Charter Academy, and my favorite part when attending this school was the teachers. Every teacher I have had during my time at the school, I felt were very welcoming to many students. In addition I enjoyed the diversity of students that it was like being a small community where everyone knew everybody.

Overrated school. Principal was like an artist never approachable, the few times we would see her outside was to yell at someone for parking in the wrong spot. When it came down to bullying this school was no help. They are more worried about their ratings than the actual well being of the student....
