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 liked Pelham Prep because it was one of the great schools in the campus, which started out with 7 schools and went down to 5. I liked the close knit community because it allowed you to develop a relationship with the students and faculty which is essential when it comes to school. The school itself had a loving relationship and the teachers usually found time to help students who were struggling during their lunch time.
