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 enjoyed being a part of the WIA it gave me the opportunity to take some of my core college course before I actually got out of high school. I graduated early in December and being able to take the classes in high school is going to let me graduate college earlier also. I think this program is wonderful and it also gives some students the ability to take some college classes that their parents are not having to pay for which in the end may help some student go to college that might not have otherwise been able to.

Applying to WIA wasn't very hard and it allowed me to take classes in and at the high school and get college credit for them. However, I would like them to provide more information on available classes.
