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.

nex+Gen is a project based school where you really learn to engage with other students and learn about certain topics. The community is very strong and theres lots of school spirit. Art and drama performances and shown off throughout the school and theres also parent nights were students present their best projects currently to other parents. It's a very unique school, but with much smaller class sizes so students get the help and attention they usually need. Overall, I'd rate nex+Gen a 7.5/10.

Nex+Gen Academy is helping me further my knowledge and prepare for college and the outside world. We have a 98% graduation rate at our school. We are a PBL (Project Based Learning) school. We learn how to public speak and work in teams which will be very helpful in college.
