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've been in my school for around 13 years, the more you stay in that school- the more you learn & know about people and how their daily life goes, but the more you stay in that school-, the more scared you will have of the feeling of changing schools or going out of state when you've been somewhere where comfortability takes over you.

As a student from PK-7th grade, I've loved and hated my experience at YMA. Although, there isn't lots of clubs or activities we have lots of celebrations, such as our yearly play or cultural celebration. I've made so many lifelong friends.

The school is too overworked to do everything for your kid during the school day. You must be involved and collaborative with the teachers. The baseline quality at the school is very high. Being overworked is not something every teacher handles perfectly. The students are great people and that tells...
