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.

When I attended Aurora Quest K-8, there were many clubs you could get involved in some including NJHS and Art Club. Any student could also start a club if they had people willing to join and a teacher to help. I had participated in NJHS, Girl Scouts and also Destination Imagination all of which were held to a very high standard. The staff gets involved by being sponsors and supporting the students in the club. Not only is it fun for kids, but teachers as well.

Nothing about the K-5 education is tailored to gifted learning models (can't speak to middle school).For twice-exceptional kids the school continually performs at a spirit-breaking level, the opposite of what we expected.The initial Kindergarten parent meeti...
