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 enjoy going to Cab Calloway School of the Arts, although they lack some things such as a sports program and a massive involvement in the sciences and maths, they are made up for with its partnership with the Charter School of Wilmington, which in turn uses our arts program and the third floor of the building. The school culture isn't well seen outside of Spirit Week due to the lack of sports programs and other school events.

Cab is the perfect school for the student who is motivated to learn, but also is interested in making a focus on a discipline in one of the Arts, a larger part of their middle / high school experience. My son was struggling with finding the right middle school fit for him and CAB has been the perfec...
