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.

Mass Academy has truly set me up for success. While junior year at Mass Academy remains the hardest year of schooling I've ever completed, it is because of my junior year that I am able to succeed academically in any environment. Mass Academy is endless in its opportunities for students and enabled me to start my college and professional career ready. Mass Academy was one of the best decisions I ever made for my education and I am eternally grateful for everything MAMS has done for me.

The course work is rigorous and challenging, and pushes students to collaborate and come up with their own approaches to problems. There are many opportunities for students, like resources to work on STEM projects and a senior year taking college courses. The community is supportive and close-knit.

MAMS did a great job of creating an environment where I could pursue any academic challenges that I found interesting while also providing a curriculum to help push me more than I had ever previously been pushed in school. I would not be where I am today without my experience at MAMS.
