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.

The school's personalized mastery plan system is certainly a novel idea, but often times the students at the school fail to take advantage of the flexible deadlines and very self-driven learning. To succeed at Aveson, it's certainly necessary to be a driven, independent student, because about 50% of the learning you will do in each class is self-taught.

I got bullied a lot when I said something they would say we believe in dreams and other crap but the teachers are good its just the people.

It's unique approach to learning is nice, it lets the kids go at their own pace and have them figure out what they need and if they need it the teacher can help them on their way.

His teachers are warm, committed, and they make learning fun. The small class sizes are wonderful and the kids seem to really support one another. We are s...
