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 and my kids have been with this charter school since it opened. I am so very happy my kids got their education where the teachers want to be there. It's a giant family! From Jim Smith to the janitors they know the kids their names and love hearing the success stories of those who graduated! Best school in luzerne
