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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Altha School is a very small school. Being a small school has its benefit. Such as smaller class sizes with more individual attention. Everyone knows everyone and the students and teachers are friendly. The school does not have advanced classes on campus until you get to high school. I would like to see a gifted program.
